EVENT OVERVIEW

UK Chinese Dragon Boat Festival (CDBF) is one of the most high profile events organised by the Xinhua Chinese Association (XCA). In 2024, over 20,000 people joined us to experience the excitement both on and off the water, with support from local councils, communities and organisations, and Consulate-General of the People’s Republic of China in Manchester. The Festival has been a fast growing event including amateur team dragon boat racing, diversity of culture show and presentations, and taste of authentic food since it was first held in June 2012 at MediaCityUK, Salford.
