Details
Join us for a full day of family fun, live music, entertainment, and spirited racing, right on Downtown Green Bay’s City Deck!
Equal parts sporting event and spectacle, dragon boating is a team sport that takes place in a long, colorful boat, similar to a racing canoe. Each 42 foot long boat is propelled by a crew of paddlers, a drummer and steer person. Races take place in heats on a 250 meter course, right off of City Deck. Teams consist of 20 paddlers (8 must be female), one drummer and a steers-person.
All proceeds of the event will be used to fund vital programs and efforts within the Boys and Girls Club. This support will mean that area kids and teens will have access to even more opportunities that ignite their passions, open their eyes to possible goals, and propel them towards a brighter future.
