Firelight Festival

The Firelight Festival is coming back to Docklands and DBV is excited to share that we are playing an important part of this festival.

Friday 4th through to Sunday 6th July 2025 will see Docklands come to life after hours and some of our boats will be on display with the opportunity for clubs to promote the sport and why people would want to join their club.

As well as these static displays there is an opportunity for all our members to compete in a couple of demonstration races. We are now taking registrations for this event with the goal of filling at least two boats, with full crews, for racing on Saturday evening.

If you'd like to participate, please compete the registration here and we will be in touch with everyone soon to finalise details.
