大埔區龍舟競賽

Tai Po District Dragon Boat Race

停辦2020年大埔區龍舟競賽啟事

一年一度之大埔區龍舟競賽原計劃於2020年6月25日端午節舉行，
惟接獲大埔區議會通知，今年之大埔區龍舟競賽撥款申請，於1月22日大埔區議會「財委會」會議中不獲通過。

大埔區龍舟競賽始於戰前，距今約有八十年歷史，大埔區龍舟競賽因
區議會反對撥款而取消，史無前例，導致這項非物質文化遺產不能承傳，讓近一百支龍舟隊伍失去參加比賽的機會，市民失去了這個極具中國傳統文化之節日活動而感到失望，大埔區龍舟管理委員會表示極度遺憾。

適逢冠狀病毒疫情仍未明朗關係，無奈決定暫停今年大埔區龍舟競賽。

The Tai Po Dragon Boat Race 2020 has been cancelled

The Tai Po Dragon Boat Race is an annual event, which was scheduled for 25th June this year. However, the application to the Tai Po District Council for funding this year’s Tai Po Dragon Boat Race was unsuccessful.

The Tai Po Dragon Boat Race started before the Second World War. This is the first time in 80 years that the event has been cancelled, on this occasion, due to the funding disapproval by the Tai Po District Council.

We express our greatest regret for the disapproval decision. In accordance with the decision, the Tai Po Dragon Boat Race, which is classified as an intangible cultural heritage, cannot be enjoyed. Both people in Tai Po and nearly 100 dragon boat teams will be disappointed by the cancellation of this event.

In view of the unpredictable situation of the Corona virus outbreak, the committee is forced to cancel this year’s Tai Po Dragon Boat Race with deep regret.
