Welcome to the 6th annual Greater Vernon Dragon Boat Race & Festival. Every year teams from across the city and Western Canada, join together to race in this event and celebrate the culture and heritage of China. Several teams are drawn from local associations, businesses, and city organizations, while many other teams are visiting from Western Canada. Teams have an opportunity to compete in Women's, Men's and Mixed Divisions.

In 2005, the organizers of the Alberta Dragon Boat Race Foundation continued to expand this sizzling summer event. The Vernon Dragon Boat Festival Teams are exposed to world class racing distances including 200m, 500m and 1000m (with a turn - WHOO HOO). The 2010 Vernon event poses to be one of the highlights of the Western Canadian summer race circuit boasting these world class distances and the Annual Water Ski Dragon Boat Challenge!!! Trophies and medals are awarded to the finalists.

Throughout the festival, spectators can enjoy local entertainment as well as many food and artisan vendors.

This year's Annual Greater Vernon Dragon Boat Race & Festival will again be held at Kalamalka Lake Beach, Coldstream (Vernon), BC on Friday, July 23rd , Saturday, July 24th and Sunday, July 25th, 2010.
