The annual Washington DC Dragon Boat Festival is celebrating its 21st year in 2024. The festival features nearly 40 teams of paddlers competing in the Potomac River in downtown Washington, DC, adjacent to the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.

This year, we will again enter a breast cancer participant team and a community mixed-class team of supporters. In 2023, both teams were very successful, taking Gold and Silver medals in the 200m and 500m races.

Remember that membership dues must be current, and there is a $25 fee for the race.
