This annual event is fun, affordable and fast paced. The Festival Village atmosphere is typically a vibrant and fun atmosphere with live music, working artisans, information kiosks and healthy food vendors serving up a taste of the Shuswap.
Located in a beautiful setting on the shores of Salmon Arm Bay in Marine Park the festival is fun for the whole family. While the annual Dragon Boat Festival is a gathering of paddling teams, the organizers try to provide an atmosphere of camaraderie and a positive spirit of competition as a beginning to the Dragon Boat racing season for participating teams.
