Buffalo Niagara Dragon Boat Festival

June 17 @ 7:45 am - 5:00 pm

Saturday, June 17th enjoy the Buffalo Niagara Dragon Festival at Buffalo RiverWorks. The event begins at 7:45am. For more information, click here.

For those unfamiliar with the sport, dragon boating is a boat of 20 paddlers, a drummer and a steer person. It is a team sport that requires power, speed, synchronization, and endurance. No experience is needed to join in the Dragon Boat Festival. We will teach you how to paddle!

Teams represent local Western New York corporations, breast cancer survivors, police, firefighters, and other community organizations.

With its beginnings in Southern China, dragon boating today is the fastest growing international team water sport and soon to be an Olympic event. Race festivals are held year-round at numerous locations around the world and now proudly in Buffalo, New York.
