The Bigfork Whitewater Festival is celebrating 47 years of extreme whitewater action and community-oriented fun! This is the longest running event in Bigfork and is one that the entire Flathead Valley looks forward to each year. Participants come from around the world to race.
Spectators are also a huge part of this festival and come to enjoy the races and other events held in town.
Bigfork 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. It is the perfect whitewater venue with a scenic nature trail paralleling the north side, giving spectators front row seats for some of the best whitewater action in the area!
An awards ceremony will be held at The Garden Bar on Sunday at the conclusion of all racing.
