Dragon Boat Festival Cambridge

The Cambridge Dragon Boat Festival is back for 2012 and is set to be bigger and better than ever! Come and join us and our friends at Gable Events and East Anglia Children's Hospices on the River Cam, Fen Ditton, Cambridge on Saturday September 8th

Its guaranteed to be a brilliant day with proceeds going to East Anglia Children's Hospices. The Heart Angels will be there with the Alfresco Zone, and they'll be doing face painting and colouring for the kids, playing Heart music and supporting the sixty teams taking part in the event.

Did you know that Dragon boat racing is the fastest growing water activity in Britain today - as well as the most fun! Up to 10 people paddle each 30’ boat with a drummer at the front beating time and a helm at the tail steering a straight course. No previous experience is required, just plenty of team spirit!

The Festival is open to everyone and over 40 crews are expected to battle it out over the 200m race course, watched by a large audience of spectators. The River Cam offers a superb venue for racing and a fabulous day is guaranteed with bankside entertainment, music, food and fun activities for all the family.
