The Richmond International Dragon Boat Festival returns to Rocketts Landing in Richmond Virginia on Saturday, Aug 1st, 2020. 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.

Festival grounds will offer a variety of activities for all participants and spectators.
