Cornwall Waterfest Dragonboat Races

The Cornwall Waterfest Dragonboat Races are staged at the historic Cornwall Canal, at Power Dam Drive and Second Street West in Cornwall, Ontario. In conjunction with the popular dragon boat races, a unique market features local artisans displaying their wares. Delicious food and drink are served on site. Admission to the public is free.

Local teams from businesses and community groups participate in that team building event. As well, Waterfest draws teams from around the region to sprint down the 200 meter course.

We are excited to have St. Joseph’s Continuing Care Centre as our charity partner for 2025.

Residents can take part in the event either as an athlete, volunteer or spectator!

Come check out the Dragons on the Canal.
