Stop by the library to engage in crafts and activities to celebrate the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival!
Held annually, the Dragon Boat Festival is a holiday celebrated in remembrance of Qu Yuan, a Chinese poet. The holiday's main highlight is exciting boat races; a traditional food eaten during this time is sticky rice dumplings known as zongzi (粽子). Learn more about the annual festival at this library event.
This program is in partnership with APIDA Alliance.
