Gulf Coast Dragon Boat Festival

The Annual Gulf Coast Dragon Boat Festival returns at The Dock Bar & Grill in Gulfport! The Gulf Coast Dragon Boat Festival is a United Way Fundraiser, where local business and organizations test their skills on Gulfport Lake by going head-to-head in Dragon Boat racing. This year we will have plenty of food, fun, friendly competition and music!

Dragon Boats are traditional Chinese racing boats that are 40 foot long and require a crew of 20 rowers and one drummer.

All proceeds support United Way of South Mississippi's mission of improving education, health and financial stability in Hancock, Harrison, Pearl River and Stone County, where 99¢ of every dollar stays local!
