We are participating in two festivals in 2024 with the option for additional scrimmages.

INDEPENDENCE DRAGON BOAT REGATTA

Schuylkill River, Philadelphia

IDBR Info

The Independence Dragon Boat Regatta (IDBR) is an 80+ boat annual regatta based on the Schuylkill River. It is a day long event with each team racing three times (qualifier, semi, final) at 500 meters per round. We are typically the only youth team in the entire race!

Details will be sent to the team closer to time, but expect to arrive around 8am and for the regatta to run until roughly 4pm. We usually compete in our first race in the 8am-9am time frame. Our first race determines the following two race times, but the races are typically an hour or two apart. In our down time, we cheer on other teams, hang out together, and prep for the next race.

The race is held on the Kelly Drive side of the Schuylkill River and we will coordinate parking passes and carpools closer to time.

COOPER RIVER DRAGON BOAT REGATTA

Cooper River,
Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Cooper River Regatta Info

The Cooper River Boat Regatta is a 200 meter (shorter than IDBR) dragon boat race at the newly renovated Cooper River Park home to the Camden County Boathouse. It is a day long event with five racing divisions, three races per team.

Details will be sent to the team closer to time, but expect to arrive around 8am and for the regatta to run until 4:30pm. We usually compete in our first race in the 8am-9am time frame. Our first race determines the following two race times, but the races are typically an hour or two apart. In our down time, we cheer on other teams, hang out together, and prep for the next race.

This regatta typically has vendors and a food truck. There is some parking in a lot as well as street parking.
