The event benefits Serve Denton and our mission to partner with nonprofits and communities to help them better serve people in need. By participating in or attending the festival, visitors contribute directly to these impactful initiatives, making a meaningful difference in the local community.
Participating in the Lake Lewisville Dragon Boat Festival
One of the most fun ways to be involved in the Lake Lewisville Dragon Boat Festival is to be on a team! Here’s what you need:
1 drummer who is light and loud
20 paddlers (friends, family, colleagues, coworkers, etc.)
Each team designates a captain to coordinate the team. This person can be either a paddler or the drummer. If this is too much responsibility for one person to handle, feel free to share the responsibilities of being captain by designating two co-captains.
Form a team
You might ask yourself, “Where am I supposed to find all these people for my team?” It’s not as difficult as you think. Do you work in an office? Do you go to a church? Do you belong to a gym? Do you have a large group of friends and family? If so, you have access to plenty of potential team members. Past events have had over thirty teams. Each of those teams pulled together enough people. So can you!
As you form your team, keep the following rules in mind:
All team members must be at least 15 years old.
During each race, there must be at least 8 female paddlers on your boat.
The registration fee for each boat is $1,000. Too much, you say? Well, if you have a full team with 20 paddlers, 1 drummer, and 2 alternates, that’s 23 team members. At $1,000 per team, that’s only $43.48 per person for the entire event. For a full day of fun, that’s a real bargain! And if indulging yourself in a little fun weren’t enough motivation for you to spend the money, remember that this is an extremely worthy cause. We’re doing something here that benefits the nonprofits and communities of Denton County.
Don’t know how to paddle a boat? That’s totally fine! Teams receive professional guidance/coaching during designated practice time one week prior to the race (held on Lake Lewisville).
Once teams are registered, captains are provided continued guidance and support to ensure their team is prepared and ready for a unique and exciting experience!
How do I make a team?
Grab 20 friends and colleagues (plus a drummer!) and take part in the most unique event experience in the metroplex!
The atmosphere is electric! The competition is heated! The boom of the drum, the glistening lake, the food trucks, the children’s activities, the cheering of the crowd, and multiple brightly colored dragon-scaled boats neck and neck in fierce pursuit of the finish line!
"Join as an individual paddler” Option
Can’t pull together 20 paddlers and a drummer but still want to join in on the racing fun? You can now join the event as an individual paddler! The registration fee for each individual paddler is $50. Note: Individual paddlers must be at least 15 years old.
