Dragon Boat Victoria has been working closely with the City of Melbourne to put together an exciting program that highlights our sport—from eye-catching static boat displays to thrilling nighttime racing.

To help festival visitors learn more and connect with our clubs, DBV has created a dedicated page on our website. Visitors scanning QR codes at the festival will be directed to this page, which features everything from an overview of the sport to easy steps for finding and joining a local club.

This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts to boost recruitment and raise awareness of dragon boating across Victoria.

Let’s make the most of this fantastic opportunity to showcase our passion and welcome new members to our community!
