About the event
The festival is expected to draw 30+ teams, over 1,000 paddlers, and an estimated 2,000 spectators across the weekend — creating meaningful foot traffic and regional visitation while supporting nearby businesses and activating public space. At a pivotal moment for San Francisco’s continued revitalization, this event reflects the energy, diversity, and resilience of our city.
The Marin Chinese Cultural Association will once again have our own team to participate in the Friendship Races. We are currently looking for new crew members to join the award-winning MCCA Marin Dragons Team for the upcoming event at Lake Merced.
Only requirements*:
Current MCCA members;
All ages 16 and up are welcome;
