In partnership with the Kamloops Sports Council, the Kamloops Dragon Boat Festival Society invites you to join us on the water on August 9, 2025, at Riverside Park. The festival will include racing on the river, going under a bridge, paddling in three 500-metre races and participating in a Guts and Glory race!
On the east side of the park, there will be a grassy, shaded paddlers’ village. The area will be sectioned off and available for team’s tents. With new updates recently done by the City of Kamloops, these added amenities include a new beach walkway.
If needed or desired, the Kamloops Dragon Boat Festival can provide steersmen for teams that do not have experience paddling in a river, as well as practice session opportunities in the afternoon on Friday, August 8. Please note that there will be no additional fee to any team for these options.
