The Colorado Springs International Dragon Boat Festival returns to Prospect Lake!

This event brings together culture, sport, and international flavors that blend a 2,500-year-old tradition with the fun and excitement of an outdoor festival.

Twenty paddlers move in unison, combining strength and teamwork in a boat whose elaborate design originates from ancient China. Social groups and businesses alike embrace the sport because it builds camaraderie, forms connections and promotes healthy lifestyles.

Admission to this family-friendly event is free; races will begin at 9 a.m. and will continue throughout the day. Festival grounds will offer a variety of activities for all participants and spectators.

Wander through the Health & Wellness Village featuring exciting products and services to assist in leading a healthy lifestyle. Grab a bite from one of our food trucks, enjoy watching the races in the beer garden, or shop in the marketplace.

New teams and individuals are welcome! Invite friends, family, colleagues - form a group of 16 to 25 people and sign-up a team today. If you or a couple of friends are interested, there is a pay per seat option available, contact us at info@gwndragonboat.com to join.
