Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival returns for the 2022 festival season with headliners Serena Ryder and the Strumbellas, who'll be hitting the stage for a weekend of all-ages concerts and a flurry of food and entertainment. 

Running June 24 to 26, the festival also features performances from an all-Canadian lineup that includes Frown Line, Stoby, Rebelle, Steve Neville and many more.

In addition, visitors can check out performances from Success Dragon Lion Dance, Chinese Canadian Children's Choir of Canada, 100th Regiment of Foot and RCAF Pipes and Drums, plus paintings from local artists Debbie Rattcliffe and Coblou and a miniature-scale festival from LEGO artist Matthew Ready.

And that's without mentioning the festival's non-stop dragon boat racing, the fest's multi-sport paddling event Ottawa Wa'a, plus a showcase of a two-person dragon boat — deemed the DragonFly — in a first-ever exhibition race.
