What began as a couple of kayakers pickin’ tunes on the back deck after a long day on the river, has grown into a huge community celebration in to raise funds for Bend Paddle Trail Alliance and our efforts to transform the Colorado Bridge Dam into Oregon’s first whitewater park. Highlights include kayak, canoe and stand up paddle board demos throughout the late afternoon, local and regional acoustic, bluegrass and Americana acts in the evening, microbrews from Bend’s best breweries, food carts, non-profit information tables and more.

$10 and children 12 and under are free
Pint glasses are $10 and come with two drink tickets for those 21 and older
Demos from 4 – 7 p.m.
The opener begins playing at 5 p.m. and the headliner is done by 9 p.m.
Please don’t bring your dogs.
Parking has become a big issue… ride your bike, walk, carpool. John Flannery will be circling the parking lot between 8:30 – 11:00 to offer free rides home.

Special thanks to Deschutes Brewery and Cascade Lakes Brewing for donating the kegs for this event. Also thank you to Oblivion Brewery, Silvermoon Brewery and Nikasi for also donating.
