The origin of dragon boat racing can be traced to events that happened in southern China over 2,000 years ago. Originally, boats adorned with dragon heads were part of a fertility rite as a way to encourage plentiful rains and a good harvest. The Edmonton Dragon Boat Festival is held at Louise McKinney Waterfront Park
