Application Information & Requirements

The mission of the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival is to build bridges of awareness, knowledge and understanding between the diverse Asian Pacific American (APA) communities and the general public through cultural education, leadership development, and athletic competition.

An annual highlight for many visitors to the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival (CDBF) is the bustling Marketplace where people can buy a variety of Asian products that can’t be found at a local mall. Our Marketplace has prized items from Thailand, India, Philippines, Laos, Hawai’i, Vietnam, Japan and more.
​

Do you want to share your Asian goods and services with over 100,000 appreciative spectators over a summer weekend? Now’s your chance to apply.
