2025 Comox Dragon Boat Festival
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 followed that by a true west coast day in 2024 that was short on sunshine but not on amazing community vibes. We are excited to be hosting the event again in 2025!
Mark your calendars – Saturday, September 13, 2025 marks the return of this end-of-season favourite! Stay tuned for registration details for the 2025 event.
A recap of our first edition of this fun event…
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.
As Vancouver Island’s experts in dragon boating, we are committed to supporting and growing dragon boating on the island including through the growth of the Comox Dragon Boat Festival in future years.
Thank you to those teams who joined us for our first festival and continue to support us as we grow this community event and seek to provide memorable racing opportunities for all paddlers.
Paddles Up!
