2026 Montgomery Dragon Boat Festival
The Montgomery Dragon Boat Festival is back for the 12th year! We are excited to welcome our past teams back to the water and introduce new teams to Dragon Boat racing. The festival will be held on June 13th, 2026 in Riverfront Park on the beautiful Alabama River.
The Montgomery Dragon Boat Festival is an annual community event at Riverfront Park that brings together thousands of Montgomerians and visitors to enjoy our beautiful Alabama River and celebrate teamwork and community. The highlight of the festival is the exciting dragon boat races. Long, narrow boats decorated with dragon heads and tails are paddled by teams to the beat of a drum. These races are both a competitive sport and a cultural spectacle, symbolizing strength, teamwork, and the spirit of the festival.
For sponsorship opportunities please contact info@lightningline.co. All corporate sponsorships include a team registration. If you want to support the event but do not have a full team, you can sponsor a team from the Air Force, a local high school, a non-profit, or another group of your choice.
All proceeds raised will benefit local organizations working in the areas of water protection, downtown revitalization, and trail development. More details to come!
