Harbour Kollective

Seattle Hongkongers kicked off our second season with a debut at the Tacoma Rainier Dragon Boat Festival 2026 and brought home the silver medal in the Community – Cascade Final! 🥈

A huge thank you to all our paddlers for the past few weeks of strategy meetings, intensive training sessions, and for giving it everything on race day. It is this teamwork, determination, and fighting spirit that made this achievement possible. With this momentum behind us, we look forward to striving for even greater results at the Seattle Dragon Boat Festival 2026 next month.

Special thanks to Coach Lesley of Seattle WAM Dragon Boat Club and Terence Lee from Dallas DUC for their guidance and training, as well as to our captain Adrian and vice captain Alan for their leadership, and to all our sponsors and community members for their generous support of Seattle Hongkongers.

See you on June 13 at Lake Union, Seattle! 🔥🐉

ATX Hongkongers will be hosting a Hong Kong Tai Po Fire Vigil on Tuesday, December 9

📍 *Location: Outdoor parking area by the Great Lawn at the Austin Asian American Resource Center (AARC)*

🕕 *Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM*

Our intention is to keep this memorial gentle and quiet.

There will be no public speeches, formal programs, or video presentations.

We hope to create a peaceful space where community members may come as they feel moved—placing a LED candle, offering a moment of prayer, or simply pausing in silence.

A small information and reflection display will be set up to honor the victims and provide space for contemplation.

🤝 We welcome our AAPI friends and Austinites of all backgrounds to join us in solidarity and support.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your support as we work together to create a comforting and peaceful environment for everyone.

*The above-mentioned event was not coordinated by AARC.

Let Waves Connect Us 🌊

Harbour Kollective — A community rooted in the spirit of Hong Kong’s harbour, flourishing across the Pacific.

We chose “Harbour” to carry the collective memory of Hongkongers, and “Kollective” to symbolize how we have taken root in the United States, continuing the cultural bonds of Hong Kong and passing them on to future generations.

Harbour Kollective

Harbour — meaning “sea port,” is written in the British spelling, which is the form most familiar to Hongkongers. It carries with it our memories and emotions tied to home.

Kollective replaces the common “C” with a “K,” blending into the American context while symbolizing how we, Hongkongers carrying the memories of our harbour city, have taken root in the United States and gathered together as a new community collective — continuing and passing on the cultural spirit of Hong Kong.

HK is also the short-form of Hong Kong.

Therefore, our alliance is named Harbour Kollective, with the Chinese name 「港滙」 — signifying “Gathered by The Harbour, Gathered in Our Hearts,” connecting us with each other and with the next generation’s identity and culture.
