The Kananaskis Whitewater Festival promises a rollicking good time. The festival attracts whitewater enthusiasts from all walks of life from beginner to pros and young to old.
Paddle until your heart's content at this three-day all-things-whitewater festival. Register for advanced, intermediate or beginner kayak events. Or, take a stand-up paddle boarding lesson among other activities.
There will be various activities for you to enjoy from courses and races to inflatables, auctions, prizes, music, friends, and of course paddling.
There will not be food or beverages on-site from the festival organizers, so pack accordingly.
