LITTLE ROCK: River Cities Dragon Boat Festival

Grab your paddle and your drum! It’s time for the 2021 River Cities Dragon Boat Festival in Maumelle’s Lake Willastein Park this Friday and Saturday, June 11–12. This family friendly event features fun costumes, fireworks, food trucks, music and children’s activities as more than 25 teams propel their 46-foot-long, Hong Kong-style Dragon Boats to victory for a good cause. The annual festival is hosted by Children’s Protection Center (CPC) serving Pulaski County and all proceeds support their mission to prevent child abuse in all its forms and place the abused child on a path to hope and healing.
