Every year the Duanwu Dragon Boat Festival is held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar to celebrate the ancient poet Qu Yuan. This Chinese holiday is observed by holding dragon boat races along with other cultural foods and traditions. Some claim that dragon boat racing is the oldest team sport in the world and it has since spread globally with several clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest.
