Traditional Chinese festival returns to Regina

The 27th annual Regina Dragon Boat Festival is taking place on the last weekend of this month.

The festival is set to consist of friendly competition between dragon boat teams of 22 (made up of 20 paddlers, a drummer and a steersperson). Registration is still open until August 15. The fees are $1,207.50 for an adult team, $840 for an out-of-town adult team and $493.50 for a Junior team. The winners of each race will be given awards at a special ceremony.

In addition to the dragon boat races, there will be plenty of family-friendly activities taking place on shore. Children will find lots to do in the Dragon’s Next and adults can relax in the Dragon’s Lair Tent which is licensed and features live entertainment. There will be free paddling for the public and several team challenges like beer paddle races and flippy cup. Vendors will also be on hand to sell arts and crafts, food and other items.

The day will start off with the “Awakening of the Dragon” opening ceremony followed by the Rose ceremony which will pay tribute to breast cancer survivors.

Regina Print shops are often asked to provide bibs, T-Shirts and other printed items to teams participating in events like this.

The Regina Dragon Boat Festival will be held at Wascana Park from August 31 to September 1. Visit the website for more information.
