Starting a Dragon Boat Festival

Bring the excitement of dragon boating to your community! In the past 10 years dragon boating has grown from relative obscurity to 80 000 participants who take part in over 100 festivals in municipalities throughout Quebec and Canada. Some of the larger festivals have been known to attract hundreds of teams and ten of thousand spectators! See the short video below.......

Dragon boating is visually spectacular, easy to learn, and most importantly, extremely safe. Anyone can do it, regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability. Furthermore, it is a sport where men and women compete together in an unbiased and fun environment. For these reasons it has become an extremely popular team building activity for community organizations and corporations. Dragon boat festivals are also frequently associated with charities, where they have been known to raise millions of dollars for cancer research and other non-profit organizations.

22Dragons was founded with the goal of expanding and developing this sporting activity in Eastern Canada (primarily Quebec) and the eastern United States. We possess a fleet of boats and all other equipment related to racing (paddles, life jackets, etc…) and are highly mobile with our own transportation equipment. We also possess the consulting expertise to help you introduce dragon boating to your community, even if you have never touched or seen a dragon boat!

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
