HISTORY OF WATER FESTIVAL
The Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival is dedicated to the
preservation, protection and sharing of the cultural heritages
of the Southeast Asian communities in Lowell, Massachusetts.
In recent years, it has begun to encompass other emerging
Southeast Asian groups inside and outside of Lowell as well.
Every third Saturday in August, approximately 30,000-40,000
people from around the world travel to Lowell to
celebrate water as it is celebrated in Southeast Asia. They
come for the blessings, food, crafts, performances and the
competitive boat races.
In 1997, the first Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival
celebrated the culture of Lowell's many Cambodian citizens. In
2002, the festival began to encompass many other Southeast
Asian communities as well. Representatives of Lowell's
Cambodian, Thai, Vietnamese and Laotian communities are
now incorporated into the Lowell Southeast Asian Water
Festival. In the past few years, more Southeast Asian cultures
have been included as well.
