The RE/MAX Gorge Fest (Vancouver Island Championships) is a premier summer dragon boat regatta that takes place annually in August in Victoria, BC, Canada.
The event is hosted by the Gorge Rowing & Paddling Centre. This event has enjoyed tremendous success and received rave reviews from participating crews and the media. Each year over 50 dragon boat teams participate in a memorable day of racing and celebration.
We are also proud to feature a Breast Cancer Challenge Race, where Survivor teams compete exclusively against each other to demonstrate that there is life after breast cancer. After the Challenge Race there is the Pink Carnation Ceremony remembering those in treatment and those no longer with us.
