Annual Dragon Boat Festival

16 May @ 11:00 AM - 13 August @ 4:00 PM
dragon boat festival at Fairhaven Lake May 2026

The dragons are returning to Fairhaven, and things are about to get competitive!

Blue Skies is teaming up with the Fairhaven crew once again for a day of racing on the water. It’s all about teamwork, a bit of friendly rivalry, and raising funds for an incredible cause. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just want to see if you can stay in sync, we’d love to have you there.

The Game Plan

  • The Squad: You’ll need 17 people per boat—16 paddlers and one drummer to keep the beat.

  • Age Limits: Open to anyone 16+, though your drummer can be as young as 12.

  • The Cost: It’s £450 for the whole boat (which works out to about £25 per person).

  • The Goal: We suggest a minimum sponsorship of £50 per person to help support the charity’s work.
