Brisbane Typhoon was once again proud to support the 2026 Hakka Multicultural Dragon Boat Festival held at Ken Fletcher Park, Tennyson.
Congratulations to the Hakka Association of Queensland 昆士蘭客家會 on another outstanding event, bringing together communities from across Brisbane to celebrate culture, friendship, and the spirit of dragon boating. It was wonderful to see families, friends, and participants of all ages enjoying a day filled with excitement, entertainment, and cultural festivities along the Brisbane River.
The community dragon boat races once again proved to be a crowd favourite, with crews from diverse backgrounds embracing the challenge, teamwork, and fun that dragon boating offers. The racing was competitive, the energy was infectious, and the smiles on and off the water reflected the true spirit of the festival.
Our junior paddlers also showcased their enthusiasm and determination, earning loud cheers from spectators and demonstrating the bright future of our sport.
A heartfelt thank you to Hakka Association of Queensland 昆士蘭客家會 Brisbane City Council Paddles Ready and all participating community groups, volunteers, paddlers, and spectators who contributed to making this year's festival such a memorable success.
Events like these remind us that dragon boating is more than a sport, it is a celebration of community, culture, and connection. We look forward to seeing this wonderful festival continue to grow for many years to come.
