VI Paddling partnered with the Town of Comox to host our first ever Comox Dragon Boat Festival on a beautiful sunny Saturday in the Comox Valley in 2023, and we are excited to be hosting the event again in 2024!
On September 16, 2023, approximately 500 paddlers from across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands took to the waters off Marina Park in Comox for an exciting day of 200 metre racing.
For the first time ever, VI Paddling brought 10-paddler dragon boat racing to the province, in addition to the standard 20-paddler dragon boats.
Thank you to those teams who joined us for our first festival and we hope to see you all again for another exciting day of 200m racing at the 2024 Comox Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday, September 14.
