2010 Dragon Boat Festival dates

Country forums / North-East Asia / Taiwan

Anyone know when and where to catch the Dragon Boat Festival Race in Taiwan for 2010 ?

I am told it is always in Taipei, Lukang and Kaohsiung on the 5th day of 5th lunar month, is this correct ?

You are correct about Kaohsiung. See here to confirm:

I don't know about Taipei and Lukang.

The Dragon Boat Festival is indeed on the 5th day of the 5th month; whether the races in all three cities are on the day of the festival itself (which would be logical) would need to be confirmed.

The date of Dragon Boat Festival 2010 is June 16.

Everyear in Taipei, there are dragon boat races in Keelung Riverside Park and Bitan (Xin Dian).
