2nd ANNUAL DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL
Saturday, April 5th, 2025
9:00 AM @ Black Miners Bar, Folsom, CA
 

The inaugural Dragon Boat Festival was a blast, and we are already looking forward to 2025!

What is a Dragon Boat Festival? Teams of 16 paddlers and a drummer compete on Folsom’s beautiful Lake Natoma for the fastest times. No experience necessary! We provide the boats and a practice session, and you provide the team. It is a fun and unique team-building experience all while raising funds to make transformation possible by breaking the cycles of addiction, abuse, and incarceration. 

How can I get involved? Captain a team, join a team, become a sponsor, host a vendor space, volunteer, or simply come cheer on your favorite team! The event is free for spectators. Bring a chair and make it a fun family day! 

If you are a club team intrested in joining us this year please contact Kristin@phmfolsom.org
 

All proceeds benefit Powerhouse Ministries, a local non-profit that inspires and empowers people to rise above their circumstances, change their lives, and impact their community.

HOPE IS REAL. CHANGE IS POSSIBLE.

3 WAYS TO REGISTER - JOIN THE FUN!

1. Start a new team and register as a team captain. You will get to pick your team name! 

2. Join an already established team. 

3. Register as a paddler and we will place you on a team. This is a great way to meet new people and get active. 

*Each team must raise a minimum of $4,675 in order to participate in the final races. This can be done as a team or individually ($275 x 17 members = $4,675) and in a variety of ways: fundraising, sponsorship, or personal donation.

Why stop there? THE SKY IS THE LIMIT! 

If you are a club team intrested in joining us this year please contact Kristin@phmfolsom.org

Looking for other ways to get involved that don't require paddling? We have sponsorships and vendor spaces available! See the menu at the top of this page for more options and information.

This event is free to attend for spectators
