The 2026 Charlotte Asian Festival and Charlotte Dragon Boat Festival are set for Saturday, May 16 at Ramsey Creek Park on Lake Norman (Cornelius, NC). This annual family-oriented event is a celebration of Asian cultures. We welcome the Asian and non-Asian community in and around Mecklenburg County and throughout the Carolinas. The festival celebrates Asian cultures, diversity, ethnicity, roots and history.

The Dragon Boat race is an exciting team competition. An important part of the Chinese traditional calendar, dragon boat racing originated over 2,300 years ago on the life-sustaining rivers of southern China. The Charlotte race is an open competition to anyone 15 years of age or older. The Charlotte Asian Festival and Dragon Boat Festival Race are organized by the Carolinas Asian-American Chamber of Commerce, Asian American Foundation for the Carolinas, Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation, the Charlotte Dragon Boat Association, and Visit Lake Norman.
