Hundreds of paddlers are in Victoria’s Inner Harbour right now competing in the 23rd annual Victoria Dragon Boat Festival.

Day one is in the books and a number of boats have moved forward to championship races today (Sunday, Aug. 20).

There’s plenty of activity on hand for the public to enjoy at Ship Point and around the Inner Harbour, as well as the races themselves. The races are due to wrap up around 4 p.m. today, with awards ceremonies getting underway at 3 p.m., as the various divisions complete their final races.
