Sign teams up now for Paducah's Dragon Boat Festival in August

This year's Paducah Dragon Boat Festival returns to the riverfront on Saturday, August 29.

The River Discovery Center is looking for companies, organizations, nonprofits, banks, schools, healthcare teams, manufacturers, river industry crews, and community groups ready to claim their spot on the water for this year's competition.

You don’t have to be a professional paddler. You just need a team, some competitive spirit, and a willingness to have a lot of fun, all to support educational programs at the River Discovery Center.

Each team includes 16 paddlers, one drummer, and one alternate. Costumes, chants, decorated tents, and big team energy are strongly encouraged.

Claim your team spot at
riverdiscoverycenter.org/dragonboatfestival or contact Lindsay Ramsey at lramsey@riverdiscoverycenter.org.

Vendors can also sign up to be part of the event.
