The Paddling Film Festival has been showcasing the very best paddling films since 2006. Be inspired to explore rivers, lakes and oceans, push extremes, appreciate wild places and fully embrace the paddling lifestyle.
Join us at our World Tour theatre screening for an amazing night of films! Then, go paddling. We’re pretty sure you’ll want to. All are welcome.
This year, the Paddling Film Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary with a lineup that promises to be the best yet. Travel from the world’s first huck off a glacier in Svalbard to roaring rapids on the Zambezi; from Scotland’s misty lochs to the workshop of a legendary canoe builder; and from a record-setting paddle on the Mississippi River to exploring friendship in Utah’s Desolation Canyon. These films don’t just tell adventure stories—they will plant the seeds for future ones.
Price is $15 online and $20 (cash only) at the door. Popcorn and drinks will be available for purchase.
