We start on North Park Lake with the annual Pittsburgh Hearts of Steel Dragon Boat Festival.
There you can see 40-foot canoes with dragon heads and tails invading the lake. It's all to raise money for survivors of breast cancer.

It gets started around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning and you can check out more on their website right here.
