The Hope Chest Dragon Boat Tea is proud to present the 7th annual Ribbon Regatta.
It’s a fun-packed day of paddling and friendly competition. Community and corporate teams race in outrigger canoes in timed 250-meter sprints on the Erie Canal in Lockport, NY.
The highlight of this year’s Regatta will be the Awakening of the Dragon Ceremony. The team has a new dragon boat that will “come alive” and will be ready to begin its debut season with the dotting of the eyes. We are proud to announce that the donors of our new dragon boat, the Lou Billitier Family and their Foundation Board Members, will participate in this ancient Chinese ceremony.
