American Whitewater holds three official festivals each year. These events provide an opportunity to bring our community together, celebrate our river stewardship successes, and to raise funds through membership that will propel our work.
Our festivals: Gauley Fest in West Virginia, Deerfield Fest in Massachusetts, and Feather Fest in California.

In addition to American Whitewater festivals, our volunteers and affiliate clubs host many other events around the country. We participate in several of these events when there are opportunities to promote membership, raise funds for river stewardship work, improve visibility and communications with the community, and support our partners.
Community events include Festivals, Clinics, Clean-ups, and Races. We’ll host the event on our website with limited data. Use the filter button to sort for the kind of event you are looking for.
We will publish the Event Name, Date, Location, and event website url.
