Celebrate the Summer Regatta sponsored by Concord Pacific (aka the 38th annual Concord Pacific Dragon Boat Festival). Looking a little different this year, North America’s flagship dragon boat event returns with a free, all-ages festival of dragon boat racing, family friendly arts and crafts, food trucks, cultural pavilions, lion dancing, a beer garden, and live entertainment.
Browse a marketplace of 30+ makers and small shops, including a Mini Makers area for young entrepreneurs, coordinated by Got Craft Markets on behalf of Dragon Boat BC. Rain or shine. For more information, visit the festival website here.
