Water Wars 2026 – Calgary

Hello Dragon Boat Enthusiasts!

It’s official – the 2026 Water Wars event is confirmed!

Date: March 21, 2026
Time: 12pm – 4pm
Location: Vivo for Healthier Generations (11950 Country Village Link NE, Calgary, AB T3K 6E3
Registration Deadline: February 28, 2026
Theme: Beach Party!  Wear your brightest beach attire.
Cost: $50 per team

This year we will have the following categories:

• Mixed – 2 men and 2 women
• Women – 4 women paddlers
• Open – at least 1 woman paddler

There won’t be a Men’s category as it was difficult to find enough interest last year. That could change if we have sufficient demand. 

Each team consists of four paddlers, and we will allow one spare. That means ONE!! Only ONE, and not more than…you guessed it – ONE!  

To register your team, please use the following: https://calgarydragonboatsociety.com/dragon-boat-water-wars-2026/

When using the above link, there is a Pay and Register button which will take the user to the payment page. After the user checks out, they will receive a confirmation of the order. Once payment has been deposited, the user’s status will change from HOLD to COMPLETED and the user will receive confirmed order details and a link to officially register.

It is also important that each participant, including spares, complete our waiver. Once the waiver is received, our system issues a race bracelet for the paddler, which also provides access to the facility. No completed waiver = no Water Wars for you!

Spectators are welcome to come and check out the action. There is a large mezzanine on the second floor which is free of charge and open to the public.

We will also have food trucks at the site. I will provide the menus to the paddlers who will be participating. As a sneak peek, those amazing Mini Doughnuts have already confirmed their attendance!
