Join us for our annual Spring Kick-off celebration featuring the National Paddling Film Festival!

Come see the best new White Water films of the year and get stoked for the 2025 paddling season!

For 40 years the National Paddling Film Festival has been hosting an annual competition to determine the best in paddle sport videos and images and to support American Whitewater and river conservation. The Colorado Whitewater Association is hosting the National Paddling Film Festival Roadshow (Colorado viewing) at the Oriental Theater in Denver. Event proceeds go to support Colorado Whitewater.

Get redy for the 2025 paddling season with several adrenaline-rushing, award-winning films! Prize drawings and giveaways during intermission. For a donation you could be taking home a cool prize! Friends, spouses, kids; all are welcome.

The Caribbean Arepas food truck will be on-site for guests to purchase dinner.  Plus we have a 21+ bar, a kids bake sale, and awesome prize drawings!  Pucon Kayak, Confluence Kayak and Ski, and Woody’s Wood Fired Pizza have joined as sponsors alongside La Sportiva, Terra Hoover Realty, Backcountry Packraft, Team River Runner, The Golden Mill, Whitewater Workshop, Splattypus Imports, The UNsplit, and CU Sports Medicine’s CUhipClinic.com.  Stay tuned for more updates, BRING CASH, and don’t forget to get your tickets!
