Join Us for the 2025 Boston Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival! 

The Ethnocultural, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Group is gearing up for our third year at the Annual Boston Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival—and we want YOU on our team!

**Last year, we powered our way to a 2nd place finish in the D Minor Division. This year, we’re aiming even higher—Gold in a Major Division!

We’re assembling 20 dedicated paddlers who are ready to compete, have fun, and build an unforgettable team experience on the beautiful Charles River.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Attend at least one practice session between late April and early June
•  Race weekend:
•  June 7 – Seeding race
•  June 8 – Festival day & main race

This is more than just a competition—it’s an exhilarating challenge and an amazing way to connect with an inclusive and passionate community. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or new to the sport, if you’re ready to push your limits and have a blast, we want you on board!

💥 Are you in? Sign up to secure your spot! 💥

Racing Registration Fees:

ISPE Members – FREE!
Non-Members - $20

Participants will be required to complete a waiver with ISPE Boston.

We're currently seeking volunteers to help make this year's festival even more memorable. We need assistance with taking photos of the event and ensuring our team stays hydrated and energized throughout the day. Last year was fantastic, but with your help, we can make this year even better! If you're interested in spectating or volunteering, please contact us at office@ispeboston.org.
