It's that time again! Come out and support the Ryerson Dragon Boat (Rye-D-Boat) Teams as we compete in our biggest regatta of the season. BOOM BOOM!!
It is a two day event, where 180-200 teams and over 5000 athletes will be competing, with hundreds of thousands of people expected to attend over the span of two days. In addition it will juxtapose the sport of dragonboat with cultural performances, music, food, activities and entertainment for the entire family.
Admission to the festival is free of charge, you do need to buy a ferry ticket to get there though.
Getting There:
The Toronto Ferry Docks are located at the foot of Bay Street and Queen Quay. Fares range from $6.50 for adults, $4 for seniors/students (15-19 with a student card), $3 for children, free ride for those under 2 years old. For more information on ferry schedules call (416) 392-8193
