For the seventeenth year, the Riverfront Dragon Boat and Asian Festival brought competition and culture to Hartford.

With arts and crafts projects for kids, numerous dance and musical performances, and martial arts demonstrations, there was plenty to do in between boat races.

This year’s quirky addition: the frozen yogurt truck that supplied people with endless free treats and swag (lunch boxes, t-shirts, temporary tattoos — you name it) if they got in the back of the truck and screamed into a microphone.
