Concord Pacific Place, Creekside Park, and the waters of False Creek come alive as an estimated 5,500 paddlers and 100,000 festival-goers converge for North America’s biggest, best, and most competitive racing festival during Vancouver’s #1 community event.


This year, we welcome over 200 teams from across Canada and the world to Vancouver; international visitors include teams from the USA, China, Hong Kong, Macau, the Philippines, Germany, Australia, and more. Expect live music, vibrant visual arts, children’s activities, and culinary offerings that allow you to explore the world all from the comfort of the Festival.


Help us build a more accessible community; the Festival is also raising money for 9 charities and non-profits that break down barriers to participation. Donate to them online at dragonboatgala.com; whoever raises the most money for their charity will get an additional $5,000 prize from Concord Pacific!
