Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival

BIG NEWS: The Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival presented by Scotiabank is proud to welcome Concord Pacific 協平世博集團 as our Official Dock Sponsor for 2026!

For nearly 40 years, Concord Pacific has been a champion of dragon boat racing in Canada, helping build one of the country's most celebrated dragon boat traditions on Vancouver's waterfront. Now, that legacy arrives in Ottawa.

As Official Dock Sponsor, Concord Pacific will be at the heart of the action at Mooney's Bay, where every race begins, teams gather before competition, friendships are forged, and unforgettable memories are made.

The docks are more than a launching point—they're where anticipation, teamwork, and community come together.

We're excited to partner with an organization that shares our commitment to culture, inclusion, active living, and community connection as we prepare to welcome thousands of athletes, volunteers, spectators, and supporters to Mooney's Bay, June 19–21, 2026.
