The Chinese Students and Scholars Association Braunschweig and the International Student Support Team warmly invite everyone interested to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival together.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, many people in China and around the world celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

At this event, you'll learn more about the traditional festival and get to experience the typical celebrations firsthand. Together, we'll prepare Zongzi – pyramid-shaped sticky rice parcels wrapped in bamboo leaves – and tie the traditional five-coloured ribbons around our hands and feet. Additionally, enjoy Chinese singing and musical performances featuring the bamboo flute and Erhu, and as a special highlight, you'll have the opportunity to try on traditional garments such as MaMian and Hanfu.
