Dragon Boat Festival

Posted on | March 26, 2009 | No Comments

Head over to Tempe Town Lake this weekend for the 6th annual Arizona Dragon Boat Festival . You can take a picnic and just hang out all day–or buy something from the vendors who will sell about anything you could ask for. And there’s more to see than boat races. They have a full weekend of entertainment scheduled on the main stage, with tables and chairs available for easy watching.

The annual BIG party will be held Saturday night after the festival at Philly’s Sports Bar & Grill, 1826 N. Scottsdale Rd., Tempe. (480) 946-6666. Admission is FREE, but no food will be provided.

But the main event is at Tempe Town Lake.
