Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival

06/20/2026

There are few symbols of a Canadian summer more iconic than a dock on the water.

At the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, the docks are where every race begins, every team gathers, and countless memories are made.

For years, Fendock Aluminum Boat Docks has generously supplied the docks that make our Festival possible, helping transform Mooney's Bay into one of North America's premier dragon boat racing venues.

From first-time paddlers to championship crews, every athlete's journey starts on a Fendock dock.

We're proud to recognize Fendock as our Official Dock Provider and thank them for their incredible support of the Festival community.

Here's to another summer of unforgettable moments on the water.

The Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival is a Dragon Boat Canada Race Series Event and promises to be one of the most exciting summer events in Ottawa and a premier dragon boat festival on the North American dragon boat calendar.
