The GWN Sport Regatta returns to Marilyn Bell Park in Toronto on Saturday, July 12th, 2025. Attracting both competitive and recreational crews, this one-day event is jam-packed with racing.

Twenty paddlers move in unison, combining strength and teamwork in a boat whose elaborate design originates from ancient China. Social groups and businesses alike embrace the sport because it builds camaraderie, forms connections and promotes healthy lifestyles.

Festival grounds will offer a variety of activities for all participants and spectators. Grab a bite from one of our Food Trucks, enjoy a cold one in the Beer Garden.
