Penticton Dragon Boat Festival is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year! A quarter century of fabulous racing! Look for some special announcements regarding this year’s festival, September 12 and 13, 2026!
And while we’ve got your attention, we are looking for any photos from the very early years. We’ve got a documentary crew that desperately needs photos right now to help finish the project. Send them via Facebook, or post them here.

Thank you to everyone who purchased Cannery Brewing beers this summer from the Dragonboat Pub at Skaha Lake.
With your support, we were able to make a $1,500 donation to the Penticton Paddle Sports Association to help their fundraising efforts to build a new boathouse.
In this photo, Keith from the Dragonboat Pub (left) and Ian from Cannery Brewing (right) present the cheque to Launa (centre) of the Penticton Paddle Sports Association.
Thanks to everyone for helping to make a difference for the Penticton Paddle Sports Association.
