The Kentucky Dragon Boat Festival is returning to AJ Jolly Lake on Sept. 6.

The details:
- Each team gets a practice session before race day
- All equipment, steersperson and drummer provided
- Three 250-meter heats per team
- Awards for the top finishers
- A rose ceremony honoring breast cancer survivors and remembering those we’ve lost.
