Port Perry Dragon Boat Festival 2026
The Port Perry Dragon Boat Festival brought our community together for a fantastic day on the water, filled with energy, teamwork, and local pride. Thanks to the dedication of paddlers, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters, the event was a tremendous success.
Together, we raised more than $40,000 in support of the Port Perry Hospital Foundation and Scugog Lake Stewards.
