Paddles up! The yearly Dragon Boat Festival is a celebration of diversity and culture that features community vendors, local performers and the famous dragon boat race.

This annual celebration, inaugurated in 2006, draws over 4,000 spectators. Saint Martin’s University is proud to host the event with the cooperation of Kaikane Events.

Beyond the spirited dragon boat races, there are Chinese traditional art demonstrations, traditional lion dances, music, and martial arts performances. This festival has always been a celebrated time for the community.
