SATURDAY, MAY 9, 2020 (CANCELLED)
Bayou DeSiard | Corner of Loop Road and Forsythe Road in Monroe
After consultation with our sponsors, teams and vendors we’ve made the difficult decision to CANCEL the Children’s Coalition Dragon Boat Festival scheduled for May 9, 2020. We want to come back on May 8, 2021 bigger and better than ever.
Funds raised during the festival support the Children's Coalition for Northeast Louisiana and are critical to keeping our organization “afloat” during this time of uncertainty. If you were looking forward to rowing this year, we encourage you to purchase an official festival t-shirt to help us continue our work.
The community aspect of this event is key and having spent the past year preparing for the races with our volunteers, Board of Directors, vendors, sponsors, and teams, we’re very disappointed not to be able to proceed with the races.
We want to thank all our sponsors and partners for their support, open discussions and encouragement. As everyone has been reminding us, great things happen when the community comes together and connects. Although the races will not happen in 2020, we hope to gather together when it is safe to do so and celebrate our amazing supporters.
