Home to the annual Madison County Chamber of Commerce Dragon Boat Regatta, Madison delivers this popular and well-attended week-long festival that culminates on race day. A tradition that started in ancient China, dragon boat racing involves forty-foot long boats handled by twenty paddlers who row in unison to the beat of their own team drummer. Dragon boat racing focuses on team dynamics and requires more synchronicity than strength, so a well-coordinated team will always beat the stronger teams. As a result, it’s a popular event that is well-attended by corporate teams, organizational teams, community teams, and others.
