Dragon Boat Festival

It is with great disappointment that the Town of Arnprior Dragon Boat Festival is cancelled for 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic forced a two-year hiatus for this Festival. It also, unfortunately, for many participants of this sport had a profound impact that has seen other Festivals cancelled and local clubs revisit their operations – including the local Arnprior Dragon Boat Club. For the Town of Arnprior Dragon Boat Festival this has resulted, sadly, in lower participant numbers. The numbers did not reach a level where we felt confident that a quality Dragon Boat Festival could be delivered.

The Town of Arnprior is committed to the sport of dragon boating and are excited that we will be able to operate both our Youth and Adult/Senior programs this July and August. We would like to thank the Arnprior Dragon Boat Club for their generous donation of a dragon boat that will support the continued growth of this sport in our community.

Keep Saturday, July 15, 2023 circled on your calendars as we work towards a bigger and better return of this event.

We appreciate everyone’s support of this festival and look forward to welcoming participants back to Arnprior next year.

Paddles Up!
