I attended this fun, family-friendly event a few years ago, and watched the kids launch their colorful, wooden dragon boats (powered by balloons) to the finish line (with lots of cheering parents/friends). It’s quite a feat of physics (and luck).

Enjoy this summer festival, at this NEW location Funtasticks Family Fun Park, 221 E. Wetmore Rd. (NE corner of Stone Ave.). It was previously held at the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center (TCCC) nearby on W. River Rd.

More info at new website of TCCC, www.tucsonchinese.org.
