Mid-Summer

Dragon boat racing began in southern China 2,400 years ago as a fertility rite performed to ensure bountiful crops.

Over thirty-five teams of twenty-one participants from throughout our community and beyond. The Race is held on the New Glasgow Riverfront. Each team paddles their Dragon Boat in heats while more than 1000 participants and spectators view from the vantage point of the two shores and the George Street Bridge.
