Community, culture, and competition. @Concord_Pacific Dragon Boat Festival 協平世博龍舟節/Steveston Dragon Boat Festival/@VessiFootwear 500 Championship/Dragon Zone
Today marks the beginning of one of my favourite Vancouver-False Creek traditions, the @Concord_Pacific#DragonBoatFestival! Thank you, @dragonboatbc, for inviting me to participate in the eye-dotting blessing ceremony to kick off the festival in a good way.
After the beautification day workout with volunteers, the 2nd event of the day: supporting the traditional Taoist blessing of the eye dotting ceremony for the Dragon Boat Festival in the beautiful false creek.
See you all there at the Dragon Boat Festival next weekend! 🐲🐲🚣♀️🚣♀️
From our docks, backstage, at our welcome counters, and serving up summer cheer, the benefits of volunteering have never looked better.
