The Badger Lake Dragon Boat Bash is one of the premier community events in Fort Dodge. The event is a fun filled, family friendly weekend that includes everything from a rock concert on the beach to the thrill of community teams competing in the centuries old Chinese sport of dragon boat racing. It’s the perfect mix of community building and team building, not to mention a ton of fun.
Join us for our 26th Year – Badger Lake Dragon Boat Bash, Aug 11th & 12th, 2023
We are thrilled to announce that Band K will be the headliner for this summer’s Bash. Band K’s signature style has become synonymous with a diverse collection of classic rock and country. We are excited to bring this talented trio of artists to our stage.
The Badger Lake Dragon Boat Bash is now one of the longest standing events in the Midwest. We are proud to celebrate our 26th year with the community, teams and participants that has made this distinction possible.
