Yarmouth Dragon Boat Regatta

The Yarmouth Dragon Boat Regatta takes place on Sunday, August 9, 2026, from 9 am to 4 pm at the Lake Milo Aquatic Club in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Teams of 20 paddlers (plus an optional drummer) race a 500-metre double-elimination tournament, so every team races at least twice. Entry is CAD 200 per team, and the combined entry fees are donated to the winning team's nominated local Yarmouth County charity. Boats, paddles, and life jackets are provided, and individual paddlers can sign up to join a community boat.
