Walgreens Greater New Orleans International Dragon Boat Festival

From Walgreens Greater New Orleans International Dragon Boat Festival Website:

Dragon boat meets Dixieland during this action-packed day of racing on Louisianas scenic Northshore. Races take place in the cozy town of Madisonville, with New Orleans and Bourbon Street just a short trip over the causeway for post-event celebrations.

Take a break between races and check out the Walgreens Health and Wellness Village on festival grounds, offering products and services to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. Paddlers can relax and prepare for races in the Athletes Village.

Mixed, Women's and Open teams compete in 500m races on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain in picturesque Northshore - St. Tammany. With plenty of racing season remaining in the calendar, this event is a prime opportunity to gain race experience for new and established paddlers in a location that promises fun and excitement.

This festival is proud to benefit the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center at St. Tammany Parish Hospital. Their mission is to improve survivorship and lesson the burden of cancer. For more information, visit ********.***/stph
