On behalf of the Royal Gorge River Initiative, Fremont Community Foundation, and the Greater Canon City Chamber Foundation, we invite you to join us for a weekend of boats, bands, bikes and beer – and loads of family fun – at this year's Royal Gorge Whitewater Festival, taking place July 23rd and 24th at Centennial Park in Canon City, Colorado.
In its 12th year, RGWF will be an event like no other. Water levels are expected to be perfect for a full slate of our usual professional, amateur and just-plain-fun white water events, like the fan-favorite Raft Rodeo, Build Your Own Boat Race and Duckie Dash. But this year we are expanding our white water fun with new events such as head-to-head stand up paddle boarding, a SUP parade, several races through the Royal Gorge that will end at Centennial Park; and we can't wait to watch United States Rafting Association Regional rafting sprint and slalom competitions.
