The London Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival is considered to be one of London's most important annual cultural events.
With the continued support of the Hong Kong Executives Club and the main sponsor, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, the riverside festival's program promises to be bigger and better than ever this year.
Up to 40 dragon boat teams will compete, with traditionally strong club teams, corporate and non-corporate teams, and "fun-runner" and charity teams challenging for top honors.
The competition format has been tweaked this year to make the racing even more exciting and spectacular.
A mix of cultural attractions and family entertainment will be offered for individuals and families.
Date: July 1
Venue: The London Regatta Center, London
