The Concord Pacific Dragon Boat Festival is returning to False Creek June 24-25 for its 35th anniversary.
To celebrate, there will be the largest cake the community has heard of on Saturday, June 24 at 1p.m., where slices will be handed out for paddlers and the public to enjoy.
Additionally, Concord Pacific has partnered with the Vancouver Sun, to seek youth perspectives on the future of dragon boating in False Creek.
The art competition, Drawing the Future, is open to children aged 6-8 and 9-12, and will take place next to the Concord Pacific Presentation Centre, where Carrall Street meets the seawall on June 24th and 25th.
Karen Mills, who curates Concord Pacific’s public art program, Harold Munro from the Vancouver Sun, and two youth judges will select their favourite drawings of the future. The two chosen pieces will be published in a full page of the Vancouver Sun the week following the event, and Concord Pacific and partners will present $3,500 towards future education to each age category.
