Each year for the last two decades, dragons have thundered through the waters of Sloan’s Lake in a fulmination of flying color. This year, onlookers at the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival, coming July 22 and 23, will meet some new ones.
“Year after year, we were able to save little by little,” said Sara Moore, executive director of Colorado Dragon Boat. “Finally, in our 23rd year of existence, we were able to do it through a lot of wonderful help from past and present.”Colorado Dragon Boat is the non-profit organization that puts on the weekend-long festivities, which last year attracted an estimated 170,000 visitors to Sloan’s Lake Park.
Members of Boulder’s Shaolin Hung Mei Kung Fu organization take part in a dragon dance during opening ceremonies for the 18th annual Colorado Dragon Boat Festival at Sloan’s Lake Park July 28, 2018. The event is the biggest pan-Asian Dragon Boat Festival in the country. “It’s such a beautiful sport to watch, with the beautiful dragon heads and dragon tails – it’s epic. It’s like these dragons are flying across the water,” Moore said. “The story behind dragon boating is so iconic and so important in Asian cultures.”
