Celebrate the height of summer at the Canada Dry Victoria Dragon Boat Festival presented by Fairway Market!

Since 1994, the Festival has been a celebration of local culture and connection with the Chinese community. Soak in the sun at the Island’s signature dragon boat festival; enjoy unique cultural activities and performances, plus exciting races in the heart of Victoria’s Inner Harbour- all for free!

We’re a celebration of sport, culture, diversity, and community for everyone of any age and background. Inspired by our roots in Victoria’s Chinatown, as well as our commitment to community, we invite you to come down and celebrate with us this August!

Destination Greater Victoria is honoured to be based on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xwsepsum Nation, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
