The 11th annual Dragon Boat Festival offers displays of fierce competition, strength, and athleticism as participants race in 41-foot-long boats painted like dragons and adorned with colorful scales. Witness the race for a cause worth rowing for: the event is a celebration of local cancer survivors, with all proceeds benefitting those individuals and their families. Teams consist of 20 paddlers and one drummer, each working in unison to finish the 250-meter race. Brittlebank Park, 85 Lockwood Dr. Saturday, 7:30am-5pm. Free for spectator.
