The iconic dragon boat races are set to return to the North Yorkshire Water Park in June.
The fundraising event, organised by the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers, sees teams in twelve metre dragon boats race each other and raise money for charity.
In 2022, the races raised £18,000 for 26 charities and President - George Roberts - hopes that this years event will beat 2022's fundraising target.
The event is also in partnership with North Yorkshire Water Park and Dragon Boat Events Ltd, who will provide the boats along with the staff and equipment to run the races.
There will be catering and refreshments available on the day, including wood fired pizzas, sweet and savoury crepes, Baytown Coffee, Dairy Dales ice cream and a bar.
Roberts says that the money raised will be going to a variety of different charities.
