May 16 - 9AM to 6PM Lake Lure. Enjoy a day of family fun when the Dragons roar at the regional children’s charity fundraiser festival, “Lure of the Dragons.”
A dragon boat is a 30-foot long canoe that holds ten paddlers, one drummer and one steerperson. The boat is “dressed out” with an authentic Chinese dragon head and tail and scales along the sides. A winning team is not necessarily the strongest team, but rather the team that paddles in sync to the beat of their drummer and has the best stroke technique.
This is the second year of the Lake Lure event. At least twenty teams of 10 paddlers, one drummer, and a steerperson will be racing on the Rocky Broad River at Morse Park (town park) in Lake Lure. There will be food, exhibits, entertainment, and a huge inflatable playground for the kids. Free parking and admission.
Lake Lure Dragon Boat Racing is a nonprofit public charity, dedicated to improving the quality of life and future of children in Rutherford, Polk, Henderson, and Buncombe counties.
