Festival Production – GWN Dragon Boat

Host Your Own Dragon Boat Festival Produced By GWN!

Looking to boost community engagement but not sure where to start? Consider dragon boat racing, an event combining fun, sports tourism and philanthropic opportunity.

GWN has the tools and services necessary to customize dragon boat events of any scale, whatever it takes to bring the unique experience of dragon boating to your community. From general consulting services to complete turnkey production, we are happy to share our wealth of knowledge to make your event run smoothly.

Why Dragon Boat?

Dragon boat welcomes all ages and fitness levels, making it an inclusive way for communities to have fun and promote active living while supporting a partnered organization (if they so choose). GWN produces more than 40 annual dragon boat events raising millions of dollars for community and charitable partners.

What Can You Expect From GWN?

At GWN, we take dragon boating seriously. While participants are soaking up the fun on the water, the GWN team is hard at work, from large-scale logistics to seemingly minor details. Our areas of expertise are diverse and include:

Professional consultation services
Lease and delivery of dragon boats and accessories
Venue assessment and provision of site plan
Developing sponsorship packages
Creating event-related print materials such as brochures, registration packages, participant waivers etc.
Planning, scheduling, executing and evaluating entire dragon boat events

The coaches pour their lives into making sure each corporate sponsored team is highly prepared and peaks at their very best during the competition. They are always prepared and execute extremely well. Highly recommend these guys and gals! They are definitely the experts!"

"Great White North has been the Service Provider for the Fanshawe Dragon Boat Festival in London, Ontario, Canada for the past 13 years. They are extremely organized, professional, efficient, easy to work with and will always find a way to make everything work. As the Chair of the festival, I never have to worry about the services that they provide because I know they will be done quickly and efficiently. I can't imagine our festival without GWN!"

"I cannot recommend GWM Dragon Boat enough! We hired them to manage a charity gala, and their attention to detail was incredible. From securing permits to coordinating volunteers and entertainment, they made the entire process stress-free. The event exceeded all expectations, and I look forward to working with them again!"
