Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival, Flushing Meadows Corona Park - Page XXX

The 2012 Festival was held August 4th and 5th. I spent a few hours at the Festival on August 4th.

As I walked to Park, I took photos. These 2 photos are
from the overpass at 99th Street.

Here once stood building that housed a swimming
pool, the Aquacade. It was a public pool until 1978.
It closed permanently in 1982, and became home to
arsonists and vandals. It was demolished in 1996.
The structure was used in both World Fairs.

The Dragon jumped from column to column, walked a
rope and danced to the beat of drummers close by.

Kites could be seen flying all over the park.
