Lake Superior Dragon Boat Festival August 22-23, 2025  
Paddles Up!!!    
The Lake Superior Dragon Boat Festival (LSDBF) is organized, operated and staffed by members of the Rotary Club of Superior for the good of our community. These members, who are local residents of the Twin Ports area, have created this family fun event to better the community and experiences of the people within it. Since 2002, LSDBF has raised over $1.3 million to support charitable organizations in the Twin Ports.

The festival is family friendly, has no admission fee for spectators, and is tons of fun! A small cash fee will be charged for parking on both days of the festival. Some of the events at the festival include; A full day of dragon boat races on Saturday. A Cornhole tournament.  Wonderful bands on Friday night.  A beer garden and variety of food vendors.  A 5K Fun Run. Tug of war competition. Pancake breakfast. A Rose Petal Ceremony honoring those who have battled or succumbed to breast cancer.  And more...

CLUB PRESIDENT 2025-26

William Zimmer-Wakeley

Born and raised in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, I started my journey in the Twin Ports while attending UW-Superior. During those four years there I fell in love with the community and knew that I wanted to spend more time here. After graduating in 2017 with my Bachelors in Chemistry and Biology, I moved to Bloomington, Minnesota to attend Northwestern Health Sciences University. That is where I met my now husband Zach, who has been a great supporter of all my endeavors. After graduating in 2020 with my Doctorate of Chiropractic, we moved back to Superior in 2021 to open Imperium Chiropractic - Superior. That’s when I joined the Superior and Douglas County Chamber Ambassador group, met other Rotarians, and was invited to join the Rotary Club of Superior. During the last four years I have had the pleasure to grow both personally and professionally through opportunities presented to me in Rotary. Between fundraisers, volunteering, and leadership, I could not ask for a better group of people to be involved with. It is my honor to serve as Rotary President for 2025-26.
