Dragon Boat Victoria, City of Melbourne and CNY United present Lunar New Year Dragon Boat Festival at Victoria Harbour, Docklands on 20 February 2022. Live on Kayo.

Starting the day with a unique eye dotting ceremony to awaken the dragons and the blessing of the boats and water to ensure safe racing, the festival is a blend of tradition and heart-stopping action as the spectacular dragon boats race along Victoria Harbour to the beat of the drums. These experiences bond team members together for years to come. While thousands of people cheer on paddlers, others come to enjoy cultural performance, lion dance, family activities and food trucks.
