Join us this Saturday, May 3rd as we proudly sponsor the Paddles & Pearls team in the 7th annual Charleston Dragon Boat Festival(opens in a new tab)! Since 2003, the Charleston Dragon Boat Festival has taken over the waters of the Ashley River with friendly competition, fabulous decorations and costumes, and a strong spirit of community to raise awareness for cancer survivors. It is definitely an event unlike any other! If you haven't experienced the Dragon Boat Festival yet, we highly recommend you attend this one. Whether participating on a team or just watching from the sidelines, it's a great time for amateur paddlers to push their strength and team building to the next level. The spirit of togetherness is almost palpable when the Festival is finished. For an inside look at the Festival, check out this video: For more info, visit the festival's website(opens in a new tab), where you will find directions, times, and FAQs. Pack a picnic or bring grill items! Keep your fingers crossed for good weather, and come join the fun!
