ABOUT ABOUT

Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival: Paddles Up Party!

Join us in the Woodchuck Hard Cider Garden, featuring Woodchuck Cider and assorted beer and wine selections!    21+ only, please.

Come celebrate 10 years of the Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival while supporting Survivorship NOW, a program of Dragonheart Vermont created to provide free wellness programs for all cancer survivors in our community.  ALL proceeds from ticket sales go to cancer survivors in YOUR community! 

Bonus!  This night also serves as the band's album release party for their self-titled release, "Reverend Ben Donovan & the Congregation", which will be available for purchase at the show!

The band: Part bar band, part tent-revival, the Congregation is some unabashedly strange medicine. The songs paint pictures of busted hearts, broken promises, missed court dates and goods not-as-advertised. The Reverend wears his character flaws enthusiastically on his sleeve, and the Congregation's music constitutes his tipsy, two-stepping, mostly-sincere confessions.  Led by the Reverend Ben Donovan, a Virginia transplant who found himself in the Queen City a few years ago and hasn’t been run out yet, the Congregation plays a mix of original and traditional tunes that’ll appeal to both outlaws and preachers, sinners and saints, hippies and hillbillies.
