BMX stunt riders will be a new addition to the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, which runs June 17-19 at Mooney's Bay Park.

In addition to boating, the festival generally features a number of musical acts, which this year will include the Trews and Steven Page, the latter of which used to be part of The Barenaked Ladies.

The festival, which is North America's largest, is in its 18th year of operation. It typically attracts 65,000 to 70,000 spectators over the three days.

The news comes as the festival season begins in Ottawa. Bluesfest kicked off its events on Tuesday when it announced the lineup of musical acts, which includes A Perfect Circle and Huey Lewis.
