The annual dragon boat races have been going for 25 years now and this past weekend, June 7-8, the tradition continued strong in downtown Portland.

More than 80 different teams competed on the Willamette River near Tom McCall Waterfront Park. The competition was broken down into three different divisions: Mixed, women and high school.

The eight Taiwan-style dragon boats that teams, consisting of 23 people, rowed in were provided through the Portland-Kaohsiung Sister City Association.
