Festivals are an inclusive paddling sport for everyone at the recreational level.
Anyone can participate in dragon boat racing, regardless of ability. Festival races are successful due to the number of crews that enter just for the fun and excitement of the event.
A lot of Festival Crews come from the 'corporate market' and use the opportunity as a community activity. It is also a social event and the team building-activity benefits of working together soon become apparent to employees and management.
One of the advantages of dragon boating is that you can easily transition from a fun festival crew with little experience to a high-performance competitive crew. Dragon boating is also a high-performance sport for elite-level athletes worldwide.
