This week’s Focus on Utah feature highlights the Daybreak community celebrating Chinese and Asian culture this past Saturday with the 2024 Dragon Boat Race, part of LiveDaybreak’s Dragon Boat Festival.

Teams for the races were made up of teams from schools, different communities and corporations.

According to a press release, a portion of the proceeds from team registrations was donated to the Asian Association of Utah, “empowering victims of human trafficking, refugees, and asylum-seekers towards self-sufficiency and thriving.”

Deseret News photojournalist Brice Tucker spent Saturday at the Oquirrh Lake event in South Jordan documenting the fun.
