Description

We’re thrilled to announce that Bonfire Event Co. is once again the Marketplace Coordinator for the 2025 Colorado Dragon Boat Festival! This milestone 25th year marks a quarter-century of celebrating Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) culture and tradition, and we’re honored to continue being part of this iconic event.

As the largest dragon boat festival in the United States, attracting over 200,000 attendees at the beautiful Sloan’s Lake Park, this is an unparalleled opportunity for vendors and businesses to connect with a massive, engaged, and diverse audience. The festival is a high-energy, family-friendly celebration featuring:

  • Exhilarating dragon boat races on the lake
  • Cultural performances showcasing music, dance, and martial arts
  • Taste of Asia food court serving up incredible flavors
  • The Marketplace, where attendees discover and shop from small businesses, artisans, and creators from around the world

This is your chance to showcase your brand in front of one of Denver’s biggest event audiences. Whether you specialize in handmade goods, unique crafts, specialty foods, or innovative products, this is the perfect place to gain visibility, engagement, and sales.

And remember—you do NOT have to be an Asian-owned business or sell Asian products to participate! We welcome all vendors who align with the festival’s spirit of diversity and community.

What’s New for 2025?

  • More flexible payment options for vendor fees
  • Expanded Craft Community Tent—this popular shared space is doubling in size due to high demand

Spaces are limited, and they fill up fast! Don’t miss your chance to be part of this landmark 25th-year celebration. Apply now and secure your spot.
