The NSU Foundation is proud to bring the Dragon Boat Races to Natchitoches Parish. This exciting family event makes for a great day of good, spirited racing, and a great time on and off the water! 

Want to be on the water?
Dragon Boat teams consist of 20 paddlers (a minimum of eight (8) must be female) and one drummer. The helmsman will be provided. There will be a practice session for each team during the week preceding the event. To register as a competing team, choose the "Boat Team" Ticket, and complete the registration and payment forms at checkout.
