Check back often for updates to our entertainment schedule. The Sudbury Dragon Boat Festival has something for everyone!
The Sudbury Dragon Boat Festival is a registered non-profit and was created in the year 2000 by the founding partners, the Chinese Heritage Association of Northern Ontario (CHANO), and the Sudbury Canoe Club (SCC).
The Sudbury Dragon Boat Festival is held at Bell Park in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The park may be accessed near the intersection of Paris and Facer Street, off Paris if you are parking at the old hospital site parking lot (Paris and Boland). The finish line will be best viewed from the main beach. Please be aware of the park rules.
There is no public parking available on-site.
The Dragon’s Den is a licenced area for alcoholic beverages in Bell Park the day of the festival. No alcohol is permitted outside the designated area, including the team tent area or anywhere else in Bell Park.
Smoking is not permitted at Bell Park as per municipal by-law.
We encourage car pooling, cycling, and public transportation are encouraged. Limited, free off-site parking is available at the corner of York and Paris Streets for the public and the parking lot at the old hospital site. Details about bus schedules, routes and fares are available online at http://www.greatersudbury.ca/living/transit or by calling 705-675-3333.
All lost and found items should be taken to the Dragon’s Den and left with the Awards staff on site.
The finish line is located near the main beach, so that’s the most popular spot for viewing, but, bring a lawn chair or blanket and you can vary your viewpoints.
We do not hold opening ceremonies every year. Check back to see our updated plans for 2018.
