Dragon Boat Festival

This inaugural event was held on April 17, 2010.

Great White North (GWN) is the coordinator of the first event of the 2010 MLDB Series, making it's debut in Madisonville, Louisiana, along the Tchefuncte River. The Greater New Orleans International Dragon Boat Festival will be held on Saturday April 17th 2010.

According to GWN, this is the world's fastest growing water sport is also the most exciting. Twenty paddlers move in unison, combining strength with teamwork in a boat whose elaborate design originates in ancient China.

It's all About Teamwork!

The Crew:
A maximum of 20 paddlers, with a steersperson (cox) and a drummer. Teams entering the Great White North Dragon Boat Challenge must have a mixed crew with a minimum of 8 female paddlers in the boat.

The Challenge:
Dragon Boat Racing is a great sport for men and women of all ages and abilities. Anyone can do it and have fun!

The Scoop:
Teamwork is everything in Dragon Boat Racing. Synchronicity is more important than strength. A perfectly synchronized team will almost always beat a stronger, but less coordinated team.

Make plans to join us for this fun event next year
