Montgomery Dragon Boat Festival Returns for its 12th Exciting Year

Montgomery, AL - The Montgomery Dragon Boat Festival is making a splash once again as it returns for its 12th year on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Riverfront Park along the beautiful Alabama River. The festival will run from 9:00 a.m. until approximately 3:00 p.m., and admission is free for all spectators and fans.

This exciting annual event unites thousands of Montgomerians in a vibrant celebration of teamwork, culture, and community spirit. At the heart of the festival are the exhilarating dragon boat races, where long, narrow boats adorned with traditional dragon heads and tails power across the water to the synchronized beat of a drum. These races are as visually captivating as they are competitive, symbolizing unity, strength, and collective achievement.

The Montgomery Dragon Boat Festival proudly welcomes back returning teams while extending an enthusiastic invitation to new participants eager to join the tradition. Whether paddling on the river or cheering from the shore, attendees can expect a day full of energy, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments.
