Blades of Glory (2007)
Staring Will Ferrell and Jon Heder, directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck
Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy are the two titans of skating. At the Winter Olympics, the fierce rivals find themselves forced to share the winner's podium when they both score gold. The shower of glory doesn't last for long, as the pair descend into fisticuffs and set the mascot on fire. Disgraced and stripped of their medals, they can get back on ice, but only if they dance with each other as a pair.
There are two events on the same day, listed below. Let me know which one you want to go to.

Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival

Aug 9, 2025
place
17 Ederle Promenade, Forest Hills, NY 11375, US
Description
Visit Flushing Meadows Corona Park to see teams from all over North America compete in fiberglass dragon boat races. The festival, which began in 1990, is inspired by the legend of Zhou dynasty poet Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in the Ni Lo River after hearing that his homeland had been invaded. Local fishermen paddled out to save him but were too late; they then tossed rice dumplings called zongzi—which you can sample at these restaurants across the City—into the water to distract the fish. In addition to the races, there’s a parade, traditional music and dance performances, and souvenir and food vendors.
