Concord Pacific Dragon Boat Summer Regatta (Festival)

A scaled-down, one-time edition of Vancouver’s flagship dragon boat festival returns to False Creek after the usual 2026 event was cancelled to accommodate FIFA World Cup security requirements at nearby BC Place. The free, all-ages celebration features dragon boat racing on False Creek, cultural pavilions, a beer garden, family arts and crafts, a 30-plus vendor marketplace, and live entertainment on the TD Main Stage. The full-scale Concord Pacific Dragon Boat Festival is set to return in June 2027.
