Description:
- Dragon boats take to the Charles River, between the Western Avenue Bridge and Weeks footbridge, to recreate a Chinese tradition. This colorful, rhythmic display has been held in Cambridge each June for more than 20 years. The races on Sunday are among colorfully painted and decorated boats with 20 crewmembers, including a drummer who keeps the beat. Crowds line the banks of the river to watch the boats and to enjoy the accompanying festival of music and food. To view the race is free; check the Web site for race registration details.
