The Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival returns June 20-22, 2025! Participants will have the opportunity to compete at all skill levels, from rookies to world champions, on the waters of Mooney's Bay for a weekend of racing and fun!
The multi-day festival offers spectators free admission for musical programming, a variety of artisans, exhibitors, delicious culinary treats, beach-side bar, children’s area and non-stop racing in community, corporate and sport divisions.
Teams will compete in two 500m races in various Challenge Cup divisions on Saturday, June 21. Top teams will advance to Sunday, June 22 for a 100m, 200m and 500m Grand Final.
NEW in 2025! Small boat races available on Saturday (using standard boats). Limited spots available.
As a member of the DBC Race Series in the Central Region, DBC crews can use our event as a qualifier while competing for the honour of being crowned the 2025 Sue Holloway Cup Champions!
