Paddling for a Cause – Dragon Boat Festival Returns
đź’™ Paddling for a Cause
Get ready for one of the most exciting and colourful events of the season—the Port Perry Dragon Boat Festival returns to Palmer Park on Saturday, June 14, 2025!
From 8 AM to 3 PM, watch the waterfront come alive with the sound of drumming, cheering, and paddles slicing through the water as teams compete in friendly dragon boat races. It’s a high-energy day full of community spirit, teamwork, and waterfront entertainment that draws locals and visitors alike.
Whether you’re racing, cheering, or just soaking in the atmosphere, it’s a perfect day to be in downtown Port Perry!
This festival isn’t just about the competition—it’s also about giving back. All funds raised stay right here in the community, benefiting two incredible local organizations:
-
Port Perry Hospital Foundation
-
Scugog Lake Stewards
Get involved by registering a team, making a donation, or just showing up to support the paddlers!
