There's something oddly satisfying about watching 40-foot boats race through the Fort Point Channel in perfect sync. The Beasts from the East Dragon Boat Classic & Fort Point Festival combines fast-paced dragon boat racing with a free waterfront festival celebrating Asian culture, local artists and family-friendly activities. Between races, wander the cultural performances, explore neighborhood vendors or grab a bite while cheering on teams from the shoreline. Whether you're there for the competition or just looking for an excuse to spend the day by the water, this is one of those events that's as fun to watch as it is to wander.
