About this event

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Double Fifth Festival, marks the arrival of summer on the lunar calendar. Let's welcome summer together by making brush paintings inspired by the scented herbs and festive flowers hung in homes during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Paint, build, craft, and collage with us! Inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and local artists, MOCACREATE explores different themes every month. MOCACREATE workshops are designed with families in mind, but all are welcome!

FREE! RSVP optional, but appreciated.
