The spectacle is free to watch. Participants/paddlers must be on a dragon boat team. Dragon boats are 40-foot long boats decorated with a dragon head in the front and a dragon tail in the rear and powered by 20 paddlers, at least eight of whom must be women. A drummer at the front of the boat beats out the rhythm for the paddlers to match. The races begin at 9 a.m. The top 12 teams will paddle in the final four races of the day. The fastest three qualifying teams will paddle in the final race of the day and could win the coveted traveling trophy. An awards ceremony will held at approximately 2 p.m. The teams pay $1,000 to participate with proceeds benefiting Operation Family Help—a new Signature Healthcare Foundation initiative to assist families of patients with financial challenges by providing services such as therapy, equipment or transportation. The KMOX dragon boat will be healmed by broadcaster Mark Reardon. The Gateway Dragon Boat Festival is presented by Signature Healthcare Foundation with sponsors Signature Medical Group, Isle of Capri Casinos Inc.
