The 2022 Hope Chest Buffalo Niagara Dragon Boat Festival(sm) will once again be held at Buffalo
RiverWorks. This premier waterfront location is a popular Buffalo venue for boating, sports,
music and entertainment and is the ideal location for this exciting summer event. The venue has
spectacular waterfront views and many amenities that create a dynamic and beautiful
environment for our coveted annual race and festival. Spectators and teams will be equally
impressed with the abundant viewing areas, vendors, and large concession area.

York summer festival is free to spectators!
