Toronto Chinese Business Association in collaboration with GWN Dragon Boat is proud to present the 37th Annual Toronto International Dragon Boat Race Festival.
On June 14th & 15th, 2025, over 100 dragon boat crews from across North America and overseas will arrive at the Toronto Island.
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 9:00am and will continue throughout each day. Festival grounds will offer a variety of activities for all participants and spectators. Families can bring their children to enjoy the Asian Cultural Village and live performances. Grab a bite from one of our Food Vendors while wandering through the Artisan Village and Marketplace featuring exciting local products and services for all your shopping needs.
