The 2025 Festival Season
Shuswap Dragon Boat Festival
We attended the festival on Saturday June 14, 2025 in Salmon Arm. It was a great first festival for both the new and experienced paddlers alike. The lake was calm and the weather pleasant. The Spirit Warriors placed second in the C division.
Kamloops Dragon Boat Festival
Saturday August 9th, 2025 was a perfect day for racing on the South Thompson River! There was such a festive feel as twenty teams enjoyed beautiful weather and calm waters throughout the day. We loved hearing the crowds on the beach cheering us on.
Penticton Dragon Boat Festival
Penticton Dragon Boat Festival
The largest local festival that we attended in 2025 took place from Friday September 5th to Sunday September 7th. Smoky skies throughout the weekend required the races to be shortened to 250 metre sprints; however, it was as an enjoyable time always. We rocked the Survivorship Party on Friday night with our 80s themed “Girls Just Want to Have Fun“ costumes.
