Victoria Dragon Boat Festival

13 08 09 - 08:22 Welcome to the 15th Annual Victoria Dragon Boat Festival August 14th - 16th, 2009
The excitement builds as Victoria officially opens registration and welcomes 90 dragon boat teams to the Victoria's beautiful Inner Harbour for the 15th Annual Victoria Dragon Boat Festival.
Victoria has been a long time favourite event for paddlers from across North America. Few events match our beautiful Inner Harbour location and scenery, our festival spirit and camaraderie, and the friendliness of our City and wonderful team of volunteers. We hope you can join us!

This year we are pleased to announce a new Women's Division and the continuation of our popular Specialty Races: The Silk Road Breast Cancer Survivors Cup and Carnation Toss and the Grand Dragon Challenge (Age 50+). Once again, there is no increase in team entry fees and all fees are payable in Canadian funds - great news for our U.S. visitors!
Don't miss out. Each year, Victoria is able to host a maximum of 90 teams and each year we have a waiting list, so register early. The Early Bird deadline is May 1, 2009.
Come celebrate the sport of dragon boating and the spirit of friendly competition with us at the 2009 Victoria Dragon Boat Festival. We look forward to welcoming your team to our City.
