The Dragon Boat Festival is an important Chinese tradition celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar. Key customs include dragon boat races where teams compete to collect flags, and the eating of zongzi, a glutinous rice dumpling. Superstitions during this time include hanging herbs to ward off pests and wearing spice bags or necklaces to protect against disease, as the 5th month was thought to be an unlucky, plague-ridden time. Traditional foods vary regionally but always include zongzi, while realgar wine was drunk for its believed protective properties.Open Houses in Cheyenne, Wyoming September 1 & September 2, 2012

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th in honor of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is celebrated with parades, feasts, and religious traditions. Saint Patrick was born in Scotland in 385 AD and was kidnapped to Ireland as a slave at age 16, where he eventually escaped. After becoming a priest, he returned to Ireland and used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity, helping to convert the Irish to Christianity. Green is the color associated with Saint Patrick's Day to represent the shamrock. Traditional Irish foods eaten include corned beef and cabbage. The Chicago River is dyed green for the celebration.Pecha Kucha about Pecha Kucha
