49th Annual

BIGFORK WHITE WATER FESTIVAL
MAY 24-26, 2024

BENEFITING THE MONTANA KAYAK ACADEMY!
HAPPENING EVERY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

The Bigfork Whitewater Festival will be celebrating its 49th year! We welcome you to join us for this historic, local event as either a competitor or spectator this Memorial Day Weekend in Downtown Bigfork.

Bigfork, Montana is located on the north end of Flathead Lake, where the Swan River spills into Bigfork Bay. The last mile of the Swan River, known as the "Wild Mile", is a class IV section of whitewater. This beautiful and challenging whitewater venue has a scenic nature trail paralleling the north side, giving spectators front row seats for some of the best whitewater action in the area.

The Wild Mile also flows through downtown Bigfork, which offers an eclectic variety of restaurants, shops and galleries. For more information and updates about the festival, keep checking back on our Facebook page and Instagram.

PLEASE NOTE: The steel bridge is CLOSED to pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Please plan alternate routes. All race viewing will be along the Swan River Nature Trail. We’re sorry for the inconvenience this may cause, but we are pushing through and still planning an awesome festival!
