The Dragon Boat Festival is a fun-filled event that aims to raise funds for the Children’s Coalition for Northeast Louisiana.

All proceeds from the festival will be directly invested into the programs and resources that our organization provides. By supporting the Dragon Boat Festival, you’re not only enjoying a great ​day of community and entertainment but also contributing to our mission of creating communities where children and families can thrive!

Ultimately, the winners are children and their families in our community who gain support from the raised money.

The event is free for spectators and fans to come cheer on the teams.

Best place to watch? Warhawk Way bridge at ULM, near Bayou Pointe. Park on campus along Desiard St or near Strauss Hall.
