    About this moment

    There are 233 days until Dragon Boat Festival, on Wednesday, 9 June 2027.

    Observed in China, Taiwan.

    The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanwu Festival or Tuen Ng Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday that occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar, which corresponds to late May or early June in the Gregorian calendar. The holiday commemorates Qu Yuan who was the beloved prime minister of the southern Chinese state of Chu during the Warring States period, about 600 B.C. to 200 B.C., and is celebrated by holding dragon boat races and eating sticky rice dumplings called zongzi, which were southern Chinese traditions. The Dragon Boat Festival integrates praying for good luck and taking respite from the summer heat.
