�August 21 , 1999
Dear Friends!
Welcome to the Third Annual Southeast Asian Water Festival and welcome to the City of Lowell the All America City! We are so happy that you are joining us today to celebrate our cultures and the
environment in which we ar~ now living today.
People have always drawn to rivers because water is life. For centuries, people throughout Southeast
Asia have gathered along the major rivers to celebrate the importance of water in all aspects of life:
food, agriculture, spirituality and economic prosperity. Today, Lowell's Southeast Asian Water
Festival transports this ancient tradition to the banks of the Merrimack River, some thirty thousand
miles away from its homelands.
~
I
I
First held in the summer of 1997, the annual Southeast Asian Water Festival has attracted some 30,000
people in respect, celebration and appreciation for the water. It is the only festival of its kind in the
United States. As in Southeast Asia, the Water Festival appeals to people of all ages who come together
for traditional dances, music, poetry, story telling, fortune-telling, food, and craft booths, boat races,
and parades of decorated boats. Beginning with a public ceremony of religious, cultural and community
dignitaries, the day ends with a Water Blessing by Buddhist Monks. Now, more than 60 non-profit
agencies, community organizations and private businesses contribute funds and talent to the Festival.
More than 150 volunteers work hard to ensure that the event is successful. The August celebration has
doubled participation in only two years - from 10,000 visitors in 1997 to more than 20,000 last
summer. Its growing popularity guarantees that larger crowds will participate in this year's event.
The Southeast Asian Water Festival was driven by the leadership of the Southeast Asian community.
The Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association of Greater Lowell, Inc. (CMAA), which headed the
festival, was created by the Cambodian community leaders in 1984 to provide social services,
employment, educational and cultural programs to Lowell's newest immigrants. With the technical
assistance from the Center for Family, Work, and Community at UMass Lowell, the cultural and
religious groups throughout the city are represented in the festival planning. The Laotian Family
Mutual Assistance Association, Lowell Community Health Center, temples, churches, neighborhood
residents and the Heritage State Park representatives are actively involved in organizing and carrying
out the Festival project.
In late June of 1999, the Southeast Asian Water Festival project was highlighted as the one of three
projects in an application to the National Civic League at the All-America City Award j ury competition in Philadelphia. As a result, Lowell was one of the ten cities designated as an "All America
City", and the only city in the East Coast. This is the most prestigious contribution from the Southeast Asian community to the City of Lowell, which is home to the second largest Cambodian
community in the United States; the largest one being in Long Beach, California. It is estimated that
35,000 Southeast Asians reside in the Lowell area and make up almost one third on the City's
population.
We hope that you will enjoy participating in our Third Annual Southeast Asian Water Festival as much as
we are enjoying organizing it. Also, while you are in the area, please don't forget to see many other
establishments in our City as well. Water is life, and there is a lot to like about Lowell!
Sincerely Yours,
Samkhann C. Khoeun
Executive Director, Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association

�Boat racing is an integral part of the Southeast Asian water festival tradition.
Racing teams from different provinces and towns compete for the right to
represent their temples in national championships held every mid-November on
the Mekong River in the capitals of Cambodia and Laos.
In Lowell, we have adapted this time-honored tradition to the Merrimack River.
Our boats, built in Cambodia, are 32 feet long by 4 feet wide and hold 12 rowers.
Boat races are scheduled every few minutes beginning at 11:00 AM. Races begin
upstream toward the Bellgarde boathouse and end near the main stage at the
Sampas Pavilion. Race results will be announced at the Awards Ceremony at the
Main Stage at 4:00PM.

Is the last of what has passed
And the first of that which comes:
So with time present.. ..

Celebrate the river
And seize the time.
