BRADFORD DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL

3 July – 5 July 2026

The Dragons are Returning to Bradford!

The Festival is now set for Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th July 2026 and we are looking to be bigger and better again! Join us and celebrate our 11th anniversary.

The City of Bradford delivered two amazing days of festival fun where an estimated 30,000 people attended the Bradford Dragon Boat Festival. With adrenaline-fuelled dragon boat racing on the river and land-side attractions for the whole family, this fantastic family-friendly community festival is not to be missed.
