The Rotary Club of Superior is excited to host the 2025 edition of the Lake Superior Dragon Boat Festival (LSDBF)! Come enjoy a FREE fun family event with food, music, and, of course, some good old-fashioned paddle boat racing!Since 2002, LSDBF has raised over $1.3 million to support charitable organizations in the Twin Ports.
23rd Veteran is our continued charitable partner. Once you register to race or volunteer, you're encouraged to show off your fundraising skills for local veterans. All event purchases and proceeds help the local community through the Rotary Club of Superior. Additional fundraising and donations help veterans through 23rd Veteran. Together, we are making a difference.
