Paddle Fest 2026

Join us for Paddle Fest 2026, a one-day event dedicated to education and story-telling about adventures in all-things paddling! In the depths of winter when you can’t paddle here in Iowa, you can still connect with the community, hear stories from fellow paddlers and get inspired to plan your next adventure!

Paddle Fest will feature a keynote speaker, vendor booths to visit, and numerous breakout sessions where you can choose topics that interest you most. Lunch by Jimmy John's is included in the ticket price. Additionally, Iowa Whitewater Coalition will hold their annual meeting for anyone who is interested.

Check back in mid-December for the full schedule of Paddle Fest presenters!
