Dragon Boat Races

Sixth Annual World Beat Dragon Boat Races Presented by American Family Insurance This year marks the sixth anniversary of one of World Beat’s most popular events — the World Beat Dragon Boat Races. Four dragon boats will arrive on Saturday for the Sunday races, which are a joint effort of the World Beat Dragon Boat Steering Team, Tacoma Dragon Boat Association, DragonSports USA, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and the Willamette Queen Sternwheeler. Based on ancient Chinese legend, dragon boating has been around for centuries and is now one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. Dragon boating made its debut in Salem at World Beat 2005, and today local teams and paddlers can sign up to practice in Salem’s own teak dragon boat. Information about the race and club is available at the Guest Services booth near the Court Street entrance, or by visiting www.WorldBeatFestival.org.

TVF&R: Formed in 2000, the Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue Pipes and Drums was the first fire service pipe band in the Pacific Northwest. While its primary mission is to serve as a ceremonial asset for various firerelated functions and ceremonies, the band has twice traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico as part of sister city visitations, performed at the Chicago South Side and South Boston St. Patrick’s parades and for the President of Ireland at the 2008 dedication of Portland’s Irish Famine Memorial. 10:15 Opening Ceremony: Welcome to the Thirteenth World Beat Festival!

The tour is a cultural exchange, focusing on traditional cham sacred dances and folk dances, hand-loom weaving, singing, wood crafts and mask-making, sacred painting, and storytelling. Many years of study, training and apprenticeship are required to become a master of any one of these disciplines. This is a unique opportunity to experience the rich culture and diversity of Bhutan. (Visit the Bhutan Cultural Tent in Asia Pacific.) 11:15-12:00 Ballet Folklorico Tlanese: A non-profit group, Tlanese was established in 2004 to share Mexican culture through dance and to keep traditions alive in the hearts of youth.

Her dynamic voice, along with veteran Seattle artists Todd Fogelsonger on the guitar, Kent Halvorsen on keyboard, Jimmy Thomas on bass, John Hollis on percussion and drums, Jarrod Kaplan on percussion and vocalist Ava S Chakravarti, captivates and creates a fresh mix of “East meets West” both mesmerizing and compelling.
