Celebrate American Whitewater’s decades-long advocacy to restore ecological and recreational flows to the North Fork Feather River at the annual Feather River Festival. Paddle late-season releases on three sections of river—from fun Class III rapids at Roger’s Flat to challenging Class V Tobin and exciting Class IV Lobin—while enjoying a Friday night film festival, Saturday night party with live music, food, beverages, a silent auction, and vendor booths. Free camping is available, and all current American Whitewater members receive complimentary admission. Volunteers are welcome and eligible for special raffles. This is a Leave No Trace event; bring water, follow fire regulations, and paddle responsibly.
