The Walgreens Richmond International Dragon Boat Festival returns to Rocketts Landing in Richmond Virginia on Saturday August 6th 2016, 9am-4pm. This event brings together culture, sport and international flavors that blend a 2,500-year-old tradition with the fun and excitement of an outdoor festival.

Twenty paddlers move in unison, combining strength and teamwork in a boat whose elaborate design originates from ancient China. Social groups and businesses alike embrace the sport because it builds camaraderie, forms connections and promotes healthy lifestyles.

Admission to the event is free; races will begin at 9:00am and will continue throughout the day. Festival grounds will offer a variety of activities for all participants and spectators. There will be multi-cultural performances throughout the day and the Walgreens Health & Wellness Village features exciting products and services to assist in leading a healthy lifestyle. Grab a bite from one of our food vendors, enjoy a beer, or shop in the Marketplace. Families can bring their children to enjoy games and activities in the interactive Kids Zone. The event will provide the opportunity for local charities to participate and use the event to raise funds and awareness for their organization.
