Practices

Practice Location

Ramsey Creek Park
18441 Nantz Rd
Cornelius, NC 28031

All festival practices will be held, rain or shine, at Ramsey Creek Park in the park area to the left of the boat ramp. All teams should arrive by the scheduled time for warming-up, stretching, team line-up, and safety instruction.  The boat will leave promptly at the top of the hour and will not come back for late arrivals.

Please have your team park their cars in Lot 2.  Do not park cars in Lot 3.  This parking lot is solely for vehicles towing a boat trailer.

All paddlers must sign the online waiver prior to the practice.

Since dragon boating is a water sport, paddlers are highly encouraged to wear closed-toed shoes that will get wet when entering and exiting the dragon boat.

No festival practices will be held on Saturday, 5/10 and Sunday, 5/11 to allow our volunteers to celebrate Mother's Day with their families.
