Feel the excitement when the Chinese New Year Festival takes to the water at Darling Harbour for the Dragon Boat Races.

Boats filled with up to 22 paddlers from more than 100 teams will battle it out in Australia’s most popular annual Dragon Boat event. Competitive racing on Saturday and corporate racing on Sunday attract tens of thousands of enthusiastic spectators to this thrilling weekend of competition.

On shore, roving Chinese entertainers, traditional lanterns and decorations and tasty Asian treats from the food stalls make the Dragon Boat Races the perfect way for the entire family to celebrate the Year of the Pig.

I don't think you will be seeing an entire Singapore team there, but some Singaporeans have been competing in various Sydney races.
