River Reels Rendezvous is back! Your favourite night of the fall is coming up, and it’s the perfect way to wrap up another awesome paddling season; hanging out with friends, watching short films on the big screen, and celebrating all things river.
Join us at The Plaza Theatre in Calgary for an evening of stories from the water. You’ll see films about river surfing, whitewater kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, expedition paddling and more.

When: Wednesday, November 12, 2025 | 6:30–10:00 PM (films start right at 7, so come early for good seats)

What to expect:
A night full of community-made paddling films, great prizes, good vibes, and plenty of inspiration for next season.
The concession will be open with popcorn, drinks (yes, there’s beer and wine), and snacks. We’ll have a couple of short breaks where you can stretch, top up your drink, or grab a few more raffle tickets.
