Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival

August 2, 2009

Waterfront Park, Burlington, Vermont

Welcome to the 2009 Citizens Bank Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival and Sisters at Heart Celebration. It's Vermont’s hottest event of the summer and this year it's all happening August 2 at Burlington's Waterfront Park. Dragon Boat Racing has taken Vermont by storm and last year over 90 teams competed for the Citizens Bank Champ Cup.

Dragonheart Vermont, a breast cancer survivor and supporter dragon boat team, is again hosting this exciting community event. It's all for fun and fundraising. Since the Festival began in 2006, our local community has raised over $300,000 for charity. This year’s Pledge Partners are Vermont's Camp-Ta-Kum-Ta for kids with cancer and Dragonheart Vermont. It's a full day of fun, color and pageantry with music, food, a silent auction and entertainment for the whole family.

So come join in. Get 20 of your friends, family members and co-workers together and create a team. There's no experience necessary. Team registration opens March 30, 2009 with 75 community team and 15 breast cancer survivor team slots available. Last year's team roster filled up fast and some teams missed out, so hurry! Join the Races!
