The town of Tokaj has always been closely linked to the rivers which converge here: the Tisza and smaller Bodrog. In recent years dragon boat racing has become a popular summer event (over 20 teams competed in 2015) and this year sees local teams compete at the 4th Dragon Boat Fiesta (HU: 4. Sárkányhajó Fieszta). The fun and preparations start on Friday and continue through the weekend.
