The Sarasota Dragon Boat Festival comes to Nathan Benderson Park, Sarasota, Florida on Saturday, May 20th, 2023, 9am-4:00pm. This event brings together culture, sport and international flavors that blend a 2,500-year-old tradition with the fun and excitement of an outdoor festival.

Twenty paddlers move in unison, combining strength and teamwork in a boat whose elaborate design originates from ancient China. Social groups and businesses alike embrace the sport because it builds camaraderie, forms connections and promotes healthy lifestyles.

Festival grounds will offer a variety of activities for all participants and spectators.
