History:

The Dubuque Dragon Boat Association (DDBA) was formed by a group of paddling enthusiasts in 1988 and incorporated in 1992 and reorganized in 1998 as a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of paddle sports and dragon boating in the tri-states. In our twenty-eight year history we have provided the opportunity for thousands of people from all over the world the chance to enjoy the paddling sports on the Mississippi River in Dubuque.
