Dragon Festival Scrapbook

Published on July 18, 2007

This past Saturday and Sunday, the Dragon Festival brought a large crowd to the sun-soaked shores of Lake Phalen. Music, dance, and martial arts from a rainbow of Asian cultures were featured, as well as traditional culinary delights and booths for Asian-centric organizations. The festival's titular watercraft, the dragon boats, skimmed the lake both days, competing in a race on Sunday.
