Greater Moncton Dragon Boat Festival Sets Sail Today

The dragons will be out in full force on Jones Lake on June 3rd and 4th.

High school teams will be launching their boats on Friday and are ready to compete while raising money for some great causes at the same time.

There are around 29 high school teams registered this year.

Tomorrow, 18 corporate and community teams will take to the water.

Sixty per cent of the funds raised for the races goes to the Lions Sick Children’s fund.

Each team individually chooses a charity and the remaining 40 per cent goes to that cause.
