At a dragon boat festival, thousands of people are brought together either as participants or as spectators in what has become the fastest growing team water sport in the world. In 2007 alone, the CRC participated in six dragon boat festivals in both the United States and Canada, in front of over 220,000 people.

 

   Tempe, USA               10,000

   Vancouver, BC            95,000

   Lethbridge, AB            25,000

   Vernon, BC                15,000

   Calgary, AB                55,000

   San Francisco, USA     20,000.

 

Additionally, each festival welcomes a number of out of town teams, which account for approximately 40-70% of the total number of people at these festivals. This equates to a total of approximately 5,000-10,000 paddlers per event, or $1.5-$3.0 million of economic benefit just across these six events alone!
