About the Festival

The Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival is a community dragon boat festival held in Burlington, Vermont along the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain. The Festival is a charity event that supports cancer survivors in our local community, including Dragonheart Vermont and a pledge partner or two–in 2025, the Mahana Magic Foundation AND the Vermont chapter of Sail Against Cancer. We have three divisions for racing: Sport teams, Breast Cancer Paddler teams, and Community teams.
