2024 Minocqua Dragon Boat Festival

At Torpy Park

Event Details

Paddles Up!

The Minocqua Dragon Boat Festival is a fun, free, family event that has entertained thousands since it started in 2016. Over 152 teams have paddled from across 13 states and Canada. This excitement and energy have also had an immense impact on the health and wellness of our community by raising over $1.3 million to benefit our state-of-the-art hospital equipment, oncology services, hospice patient care, the Aspirus Tick-Borne Illness Center, and Autism Services.

This year, all proceeds from the event will help with the purchase of a state-of-the-art 128-slice CT scanner at Aspirus Eagle River Hospital plus advanced technology for both Howard Young Medical Center and Eagle River CT scanners to improve the initial treatment of acute stroke patients. These advancements will improve and save lives every day at both hospitals. Every generous, and life changing gift will be quadrupled in value thanks to a $1 = $ 4 match from a Legacy Donor and Aspirus.
