Meet us at the Riverfront for the 9th annual Fort Wayne Dragon Boat Races! Dragon Boat Racing originated in China and features 21-person teams paddling down the St. Marys river to a rhythmic drumbeat. The fun begins Friday night, August 1, with the Dragon Boat Opening Ceremony, featuring live music, local food, traditional dancing, and floating fire pits! We are back at the action on Saturday, August 2 when the competition begins! Additional activities include local food, kids' activities, and more!
