Pawtucket's Chinese dragon boat races and Taiwan festival postponed due to COVID

Although conditions are improving in Rhode Island, the organizers noted that the festival is held in a confined space at Festival Pier along the Pawtucket River, where it s difficult to maintain social distancing. The festival, normally held in September, attracts thousands of spectators and dozens of competing teams from around the Northeast, according to the organizers. Competing with fewer paddlers in the 30- to 50-foot vessels isn t feasible, organizers say. The bigger boats typically require 22 paddlers, while the smaller boats need 14.
