Naha Haarii — new port pier 那覇ハーリー（那覇港新港ふ頭）
The 52nd year of dragon boats in Naha's new port, fixed on 3–5 May every year.
Rowing-boat racing came to Naha from China centuries ago, as a rite to pray for a good catch. Unlike most Okinawan hārī, which are tied to the lunar calendar (旧暦5月4日, ‘Yukkanuhii’), the Naha one is fixed to the modern calendar (always 3–5 May, within Golden Week) precisely to make it easier to visit for people coming from elsewhere. It is organised by the Naha Hārī committee.
