The 2025 Cleveland Asian Festival attracted over 40,000 visitors over May 17 and 18, 2025. There were performances, lots of food, cultural information and more including information and community resources. One of the resource displays was by the Cleveland Dragon Boat Association.
We spoke with the Cleveland Dragon Boat Association President Anise Bell and a newbie member at the Festival. Their mission is
To promote the sport of amateur dragon boating, through practice and competition locally and to support regional, national and international dragon boating;
To provide a social and recreational opportunity for residents of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio;
To offer recreational team-building opportunities for participating individuals and organizations;
To provide training and fitness opportunities for cancer survivors by providing paddling opportunities to individuals and organizations;
To develop and implement programs for youth to socialize in a structured environment;
To encourage cross-culture awareness by educating the public about the history of the sport and other activities.
It's a great activity for Women and Girls! Watch the video.
