Penticton Dragon Boat Festival

The festival, held over two days on the second weekend in September, is entering its 17^th year.  The racing happens on 11 km long Skaha Lake in beautiful, sunny, Penticton, British Columbia, Canada.  The event also features a beverage garden, a wide range of vendors, lots of great food and over 2,500 athletes.

The event consists of two 500 m qualifying heats on Saturday, followed by semis Sunday morning, and finals Sunday afternoon.

The event features a beverage garden with proceeds going to Survivorship – The South Okanagan’s Breast Cancer Survivor Dragon Boat Team, plus plenty of food vendors, entertainment, and a marketplace. Plus the best festival site in BC — a sandy beach and a race that’s visible for the entire 500 m course — and a large grassy area under the trees for team tents.
