Dragon Boat Stuff

Dragon Boat Stuff,

Dragon Boat Stuff sells fun, practical, and unique items specifically focused on the needs and enjoyment of dragon boat paddlers (and callers, tillers, coaches, sponsors, family, …). Practical items include paddling gloves, dry bags, paddle blade edge guards, seat pads, and hats. Fun items include plush dragons, dragon (and even dragon boat!) legos/nanoblocks, and 3D printed articulated dragons. Unique items include paddle stickers, jewelry, and decorative items. There are so many new items this year that it may take the whole weekend for folks to see it all.

Offering: paddling gloves, dry bags, paddle blade edge guards, seat pads, and hats


Vendor Information

The sitemap is fairly accurate, but open to some revision. Our team tents may shift slightly in their actual installation Friday and if there is any notable change a new map will be generated. All vendor locations will be labeled with their numbers from this map using 2 stakes on opposing corners. Once your space is set up parking must be found off site (unless you have a food truck) as required by Portland Rose Festival and Portland Parks. A map below may help with parking.
