The annual Solomons Dragon Boat Festival is a fun, family-oriented event featuring 17 teams of paddlers competing for glory on the Patuxent River!

Saturday, August 19, 2023 will be a full day of dragon boat races complete with a parade of teams, entertainment, caricature artists, children’s activities, vendor village and awards ceremony. Events throughout the week include a traditional Dotting of the Eye Ceremony, practice sessions and a Flash Mob. Expect all this and more in 2023!

The event raises funds for SMCR and its members with developmental differences.
