Join us each year for the ultimate summer experience at the Rowan Dragon Boat Festival! Hosted on the waters of High Rock Lake, this exhilarating event is a celebration of community and teamwork. With each 42-foot dragon boat powered by 20 paddlers, a drummer setting the rhythm, and a steersperson navigating the course, teams learn the ropes of this ancient sport, no experience required. Embrace the challenge, the camaraderie, and the thrill of what twenty novice paddlers can achieve together on a spectacular day of competition and festivity! Along with the races you'll find a wide variety of food trucks and vendors that give this event a extra festive atmosphere. If you would like to be part of a team, reach out to the Rowan Chamber of Commerce.
