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 its pledge partner–in 2025, the Vermont chapter of Sail Against Cancer. We have three divisions for racing: Sport teams, Breast Cancer Paddler teams, and Community teams.
