About the Dragonboat Race & Festival

The event is designed to celebrate education, community, family, culture and the waterways of Oshkosh. Races will be held along the the Fox River with the Leach amphitheater serving as the “Athlete’s Village” where teams can relax between races. There will also be a variety of activities, entertainment and concessions offered within the Athlete’s Village. As part of the UW Oshkosh Fall Fest celebration, and in partnership with the YMCA and the Grand, the Festival also seeks to:

Support the educational activities of the University and its partners
Provide a fun activity for people of all ages
Enhance the appreciation of our waterways
Develop an Oshkosh tradition
Build on the partnerships between the campus and the community
Provide opportunities for organizations and businesses to become involved.
Increase business and energy in the downtown area.

We invite you to join us as a sponsor, individual paddler, team, volunteer or spectator for a full day of racing, hands-on activities for the whole family and two stages of live entertainment.

Dragonboat racing also provides a unique team-building opportunity for businesses and organizations in the Fox River Valley. So gather 21 of your employees or co-workers and experience the excitement and rewards of teamwork like never before. Read more>

Proceeds from the Dragonbot Festival will be used to support:

1) Student leadership and involvement scholarships at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.

2) The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, offering membership assistance to over 2,400 youth, families and individuals annually. The Strong Kids Campaign assures older adults, individuals with disabilities, group home members, and financially challenged individuals’ participation at the YMCA.
