Chinese Dancing Dragon Craft Activity WA Shipwrecks Museum

As rhythmic drums thunder and dragon boats glide powerfully across the harbour, families are invited to be part of the action at the WA Shipwrecks Museum — an exciting feature of the Western Australian Dragon Boat Festival.
Join us for a vibrant, hands-on children’s workshop that brings the spirit of the festival to life.
Young creatives aged 4–10 years will design and build their very own Chinese Dancing Dragon, inspired by centuries-old traditions symbolising strength, unity and good fortune. Using bold colours, dynamic shapes and plenty of imagination, children will craft a dragon full of movement and personality — ready to be proudly paraded along the harbour.
Set within the historic maritime surrounds of the museum, this free activity is the perfect complement to the high-energy racing outside — offering families a moment to create, celebrate and fully immerse themselves in the festival atmosphere.
Free activity
Ages 4–10 years
Part of the Western Australian Dragon Boat Festival celebrations
One unforgettable harbour experience for the whole family!
