The Sussex Academy Foundation announced July 16 that the Lewes Dragon Boat Festival, scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 20, at Lewes Canalfront Park, Lewes, has been canceled.
Organizers had announced the return of the festival in January after a two-year hiatus. The event began in 2013 as a fundraiser for Sussex Academy’s capital campaign. More than $316,000 was raised in the festival’s first five years.
