Dragon Boats, Blues & BBQ, Night in Venice – Weekend Happenings

The Dragons are coming this Sunday! Gilda’s Club South Jersey Dragon Boat Festival 2019, returns from 8a-5p Sunday, July 14th at Lake Lenape Park, Mays Landing. Having been a part of the first three Gilda's Club South Jersey's Dragon Boat Festivals, I can tell you that this event will be one of the highlights of your summer!

A record 36 boats have been registered for this year's festival, ensuring a full and exciting day of racing action to watch on Lake Lenape. All are welcome to watch and enjoy for free. The Dragon Boat Festival benefits Gilda's Club South Jersey, a cancer support organization which offers all of its services at no charge.
