Nanaimo Marine Festival

We are kicking off Marine Festival 2025 with Bathtub Races on Canada Day at Departure Bay Beach. Brought to you by the Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society and UA Local 170 Plumbers & Pipefitters Union

UPDATE: Sold out for 2024!

Hey Nanaimo, want to try dragon boat?
We had so much success with our recent learn-to program for the Nanaimo Dragon Boat Regatta that so many of the paddlers wanted more! Join them for a shortened season on the water learning everything you’ll need to know to be race ready for the Comox Dragon Boat Festival on September 14.

VIP’s Maffeo Maulers are looking for a few more people to join the team. They practice Wednesday evenings at 7pm with warmup at 6:45.

Total cost for the 8 practices + 1 race is $195 + GST. Paddles and life jackets are provided.

Only 20 days left.... It's just around the corner. Still time to sign up a team, or help us sell out our raffles by purchase a 50/50 ticket or a Gift of Flight raffle ticket to help support the work that the NCDC does yearly. Last year we supported over 1900 families!
