Dragon boat racing is over 2,000 years old tradition originating from ancient China. The boats, derived from the water god (dragon), are 12.5 meters long and can accommodate twenty paddlers, 10 on the left and 10 on the right. The final twenty-two crew members are then joined by a helmsman standing at the stern and a drummer sitting on a high stool at the front, who beats a leather drum to set the rhythm of paddling. The bow and stern of the ship are decorated with a carved dragon head and tail. However, we will have sprint versions with ten female competitors at the festival.
The price of the entry fee includes not only the race fee, but is also a valid ticket for all days of The Most Fest.
For families and friends of the crews, a ticket to the festival costs 500 CZK (amount according to the capacity of the tent).
