Port Perry Dragon Boat Festival 2025
The Port Perry Dragon Boat Festival was an incredible day, with beautiful weather fueled by community spirit, where generous donors, supportive local businesses, and passionate paddlers came together to create a memorable celebration of teamwork, determination, and giving back.
Thanks to the incredible efforts of all involved, over $19,000 was raised in support of the Port Perry Hospital Foundation and the Scugog Lake Stewards.
