�August 19, 2000
Dear friends,
We would like to welcome you to the 4th Annual Southeast Asian Water Festival in Lowell, MA.
1999 and 2000 Lowell Southeast Asian Water is brought to you by the Southeast Asian Water
Festival Committee. We hope you will enjoy this year festival.
Imagine colorfully designed, hand crafted wooden boats, some as long as 60 feet, holding 25 rowers
racing side by side, speeding faster and faster on the river. With the guide of the drumbeat, each
team member in their colorful uniforms paddle together in harmony. Members uniting with the
mission to take back the pride and winning trophy to their hometown. Imagine thousands of spectators along the riverbank cheering for their teams. Both the old and the very young journey from as
far away as the countryside (in some cases by foot) to get a glimpse of this event. Everyone enjoys
the sideline entertainment and activities along the banks of the river. In the capitals of Lao, Cambodia and Thailand the water festival (held every November along the Mekong River), is a major event
celebrating the connection between water and life.
Thousands of miles away, Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival celebration is a unique bridge to
carry on this centuries-old water festival tradition that is celebrated back home. Initiated by the
large Southeast Asians immigrant community that resides here in Lowell, Massachusetts, today it is
a celebration of cultural diversity and appreciation for the river. It includes traditional Southeast
Asian boat races along the Merrimack River, parades, over 40 traditional and contemporary performances and live bands on two stages and children's games and educational activities focusing on
water quality. There is also much ethnic food, Southeast Asian crafts and arts, and informational
booths staffed by health, human service, civic, environmental and local business organizations.
Noted for it's wide participation, uniqueness, and unifying community event, the Lowell Southeast
Asian Water Festival project was highlighted in Lowell's recipient of the 1999 All-American City
Awards. This festival is a partnership of many community groups, including the Cambodian Mutual
Assistance Association, the Lao Family Mutual Association, and Lowell Heritage State Park. Many
other local organizations and individuals have contribution and dedicated their time to make the
fourth annual festival the largest and most memorable one.
For the first time in this year's festival, eight (8) teams will be using two new boats and additional
four (4) teams will be using the two (2) smaller boats. The two new boats, recently arrived from
Laos with 60 feet long and accommodating up to 25 rowers each . Last year, there were two small
boats brought from Cambodia and accommodating up to 13 rowers each. Long before today 's
competition, rowing teams have devoted energy to practicing and learning how to maneuver these
boats in rhythm .
Join us and in celebrating the beauty of the rivers, the blending of traditions and cultures, and unity
of our communities.
Very Truly Yours,
Thel Sar and Paul Kesith
Co-Chairs of the Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival Committee

Boat racing is an integral part oi 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 capital of Cambodia and Laos.
In Lowell , we have adapted this time-honored tradition to the Merrimack River. Joining our 32 feet long Cambodian
boats are two new 70 feet long Laotian boats.
Boat races are scheduled every few minutes beginning at 10:00 AM. Races begin upstream toward the Belgrade
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 4:00 PM.
