Slave River Paddlefest
The best weekend of the year!
Every summer during the August long weekend, a bunch of people gather in a little town in Canada’s Northwest Territories for a weekend of paddling fun. A family-oriented celebration of the mighty Slave River with some of the best whitewater in the world, Paddlefest has opportunities for everyone to make a splash… and we want you to join us!
