The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival may soon need a new home due to a host of environmental issues at Sloan’s Lake Park in Denver, where it takes place every year.⁠ ⁠ But a potential move would hurt attendance, organizers said, at what they call both the largest dragon boat event in the country and the largest Asian Americans and Pacific Islander event in the Rocky Mountain region. The nonprofit festival draws 150,000 to 200,000 people each July with its colorful races and cultural offerings.⁠ ⁠ This year’s 25th annual event has already been punted from its regular July dates to Sept. 5-6 over health and safety concerns raised by Denver Parks & Recreation, which manages the park and issues permits for its use, and other organizations.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to read more.⁠ ⁠ 📝: John Wenzel, The Denver Post⁠ 📷: Zach Spindler-Krage, The Denver Post // zachspindlerkrage⁠ ⁠ #denver #denverevents #dragonboats #sloanslake #dragonboatfestival #denvercolorado
