Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival

The Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival is dedicated to the preservation, protection and sharing of cultural heritages of the Southeast Asian Americans in the Greater Lowell area of Massachusetts.

Every third Saturday in August, hundreds to thousands of people from around the country and the world come to Lowell to celebrate water as it is celebrated in Southeast Asia. They come for the blessings, food, crafts, performances and (of course) the races.
