Dragon Boat Charleston Festival

Attention to all Seabrook Island Dragon Slayers past, present and future.

What: Dragon Boat Charleston (DBC) is having its biggest fundraiser of the year and would love for you to join us. Bring a Friend!

When: May 2, 2026, All Day event

Where: Brittlebank Park, Charleston

Who: Dragon Boat Charleston is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the mental and physical health of cancer survivors and their community through the sport of dragon boating. Through its on-the-water and other wellness programs, it seeks to re-define cancer survivorship for its members and caregivers. This is DBC’s largest fundraiser that helps pay for its yearly expenses supporting their programs.

Dragon Boat Charleston is recruiting teams who will raise funds and also participate on race day. Seabrook Island would like to form a team as they have done in the past, and need a captain or co-captains, and 20-25 enthusiastic people willing to learn to paddle. There are past participants who have expressed an interest in forming a team for the 2026 festival. All training and equipment are provided. There are several individuals who live on Seabrook Island who paddle regularly with DBC who are happy to offer guidance, encouragement and answer questions.

How: December 15, 2025 is early bird registration. $900/boat. After January 16, 2026, $1100/boat.

All of Seabrook Island is invited. Any questions or for more information, please contact Joanne Farrell, 516 314-2930.

Thanks very much
