Paddle into Community Spirit: The Superior Dragon Boat Festival 2024

Hello, neighbors! Norma Jean here, Owner/Broker of Next Door Realty. While we may specialize in helping you find your dream home, we're also passionate about keeping you informed about the exciting events happening right in our backyard. Today, I'm thrilled to share news about an upcoming event that truly embodies the spirit of our community – the Lake Superior Dragon Boat Festival!

Mark your calendars for August 23-24, 2024, because the Twin Ports are about to come alive with the rhythmic beat of drums and the splash of paddles. The Lake Superior Dragon Boat Festival, brought to us by the Superior Rotary Club and Duluth Skyline Rotary, is more than just a race – it's a celebration of community, charity, and good old-fashioned fun!

This family-friendly event takes place in the picturesque setting of Superior Bay, off Barker's Island in Superior, Wisconsin. Picture this: colorful dragon boats slicing through the water, teams working in perfect harmony, and spectators cheering from the shore. It's a sight to behold and an experience you won't want to miss!

But the Dragon Boat Festival is about more than just the thrill of the race. Since 2002, this event has raised over $1.3 million for charitable organizations in the Twin Ports. This year, they're partnering with 23rd Veteran, supporting our local heroes. Whether you're paddling, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, you're contributing to a great cause.

For more information about registration, sponsorship opportunities, or just to learn more about this fantastic event, visit their website at https://superiordragons.org/ . Trust me; you'll want to be part of this community celebration!

Now, speaking of community, this event reminds me of why I love helping families find their perfect homes in our beautiful Minnesota neighborhoods. Just as the Dragon Boat Festival brings people together, finding the right home can be the beginning of your own community story.

At Next Door Realty, we understand that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction – it's about putting down roots, building connections, and becoming part of a neighborhood. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, looking to upgrade, or considering selling, our team is here to guide you through every step of the process. We bring the same spirit of teamwork and dedication to your real estate journey that you'll see on display at the Dragon Boat Festival.

As we look forward to this exciting event, I can't help but feel grateful for the strong sense of community we have here. Events like the Dragon Boat Festival remind us of the importance of coming together, supporting one another, and making our neighborhoods vibrant places to live.

So, mark your calendars for August 23-24, 2024, and join us at the Lake Superior Dragon Boat Festival. Cheer on the teams, enjoy the festivities, and soak in the community spirit. And remember, when you're ready to make your next move in the real estate market, Next Door Realty is here to help you navigate those waters with the same teamwork and dedication you'll see on display at the festival.

See you at Barker's Island, neighbors! And don't forget, whether you're looking to buy, sell, or just chat about real estate, my door is always open. Let's keep building this amazing community together!
