Vacaciones en el Festival del Bote del Dragón: Mayo 31 to June 2, 2025

In the hot and grand festival in summer, we have many interesting customs and activities. Entre ellos, dragon boat racing is an activity with a long history, which is a multi-person collective paddling competition. Dragon boat racing is divided into several sections, such as inviting dragons, offering sacrifices to dragon gods, swimming dragons and collecting dragons. Before the dragon boat race, a grand sacrificial ceremony is generally held, first inviting dragons and offering sacrifices to gods. Además, inserting wormwood and wrapping rice dumplings are also two important customs, both of which are for the commemoration of Qu Yuan and the good wishes for peace and health.

OAI wishes you a happy Dragon Boat Festival holiday in advance. In the hot summer, please pay attention to sun protection when going out and take precautions when playing in the water. Although the OAI department will be closed for a short time during the holiday, please feel free to contact us if you have any needs. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this holiday arrangement.
