The Portland-Kaohsiung Sister City Association has invited us to join them in the annual Dragon Boat Eye Dotting Ceremony which includes the blessing and the launch of the Dragon Boat Fleet to kick-off of the 2026 Portland Rose Festival Dragon Boat Race season. What began as a cultural exchange initiative immigrated from Kaohsiung Taiwan to Portland Oregon in 1989, has now blossomed into a cherished local Portlander's springtime tradition.
