When is the Dragon Boat Festival in 2019?

The Dragon Boat Festival in 2019 is:
Gregorian calendar: Friday, June 7, 2019 Gemini (Gregorian calendar)
Lunar calendar: May 5, 2019 (lunar calendar)
The Dragon Boat Festival in 2019 is Friday, June 7. The Dragon Boat Festival holiday is from June 7th to June 9th, a total of 3 days. Among them, the Dragon Boat Festival on June 7 is a legal holiday.
According to the Implementation Plan for Exemption of Tolls for Small Passenger Cars on Major Holidays, the free passage time on toll roads in 2019 will be the four national statutory holidays, namely the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day and National Day, as well as the consecutive holidays of the above statutory holidays determined by the document of the General Office of the State Council that year. From this we can see that the 2019 Dragon Boat Festival is not among the toll-free holidays, so the Dragon Boat Festival expressway will not be free in 2019.

Sprinkle each layer with finely ground cooked pepper, pinch the surface into various patterns, and dye it with colors, which looks very beautiful. This food custom is said to have evolved from the custom of making, selling and giving fans as gifts during the Dragon Boat Festival. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
