Welcome

Welcome to the 2010 Canada Dry Victoria Dragon Boat Festival!

The excitement builds as Victoria officially opens registration on February 1 and welcomes 90 dragon boat teams to the waters of Victoria's beautiful Inner Harbour for the 16th Annual Victoria Dragon Boat Festival.

Victoria has been a long time favourite event for paddlers from across North America. Few events match our beautiful Inner Harbour location and scenery, our festival spirit and camaraderie, and the friendliness of our City and wonderful team of volunteers. We hope you can join us!

We are excited to introduce a new online registration system this year. Registration is scheduled to open on February 1st. This new system will allow you to manage your roster, sign waivers, update contact information and more. As well, we are pleased to announce the continuation of the Women's Division and popular Specialty Races: The Silk Road Breast Cancer Survivors Cup and Carnation Toss, and the Grand Dragon Challenge (Age 50+).

Once again, there is no increase in team entry fees and all fees are payable in Canadian funds - great news for our U.S. visitors.

Don't miss out! Each year, Victoria is able to host a maximum of 90 teams, so be sure to register early to secure your place. We are working with our hotel and travel sponsors to offer some great incentives for out of town racers. Please check our website regularly for this information.

All team members, including the manager, must read and sign the waiver form and fees must be submitted by August 1st.

Come celebrate the sport of dragon boating and the spirit of friendly competition with us at the 2010 Canada Dry Victoria Dragon Boat Festival. We look forward to welcoming your team to our City!
