River Night

River Night Arcata 2026 brings our river lovers and paddling community together!

You’ll catch short films featuring youth teams and river projects, hear from local voices working to protect and restore our waterways, browse community vendor tables, and take your chances on raffle prizes that include trips, gear, and unique local experiences.

By participating you help USARC uplift teams like the Redwood Rafters Youth Teams on their quest to be National and World Champions.

This is an all-ages, family-friendly event designed around good food, shared tables, browsing and community connection.

Beer and wine for 21+
