A Note from the Crew
Thanks for considering us!
We have begun the planning for the 2024 festival!
Undoubtedly, 2024 will be the best festival yet! Our Festival committee is full of energy and ready to take on the challenge of pulling this event together once again.
We encourage you to register your team for the 2024 races. We have 30 spots available, and from the response we’ve gotten so far, we expect to fill them all. Remember, as soon as we have a commitment from your team, we’ll begin advertising your business on our site and across our social media accounts, and we’ll create a team page for you to share with your supporters.

How we market your business
We understand how important it is for our sponsors to have their name in lights, so we take every opportunity to place sponsor logos on everything from roadside signs to event maps to the newspaper centerfold to social media posts. Without the support of people like you, we wouldn’t be able to provide such spectacular opportunities for our friends with disabilities!

- Social Media – Facebook, Instagram, Youtube. Ongoing throughout the Summer.
- Website - Homepage of solomonsdragonboatfestival.com and somdcr.org. Ongoing throughout the Summer.
