CKS Paddlefest

May 28, 2021

WE ARE STILL PADDLING!!

We are stoked to announce a fun and scaled back version of our annual kick off to summer celebration!

It’s time to celebrate another fantastic season of paddling, wave smashing, rock boppin’, and soul surfing on the Arkansas River.

CKS Paddlefest promotes getting together as friends and family to salute the return of a season chock full of outdoor recreation and adventuring in the gorgeous Arkansas River Valley.

Whether you paddle and surf the Arkansas River, fish it, or simply enjoy sitting and strolling alongside its moving waters, this fiesta is an opportunity for folks of all ages to honor the shift of season towards another fun filled summer of waves, as well as commemorate all the paddling seasons of the past here on the Arkansas River in sunny Buena Vista, CO.

This year’s festival will feature a few classic on-water competitions including a Kayak Race down the famed Number’s stretch of the Arkansas River, a River Surf SUP Comp at the BV River Park waves, as well as the giggle-fueled Race to the River Runners Grill.

Live music will be performed by the quick witted local band RapidGrass at the BV Town Party on Friday evening in South Main to shake things loose and get your spirits ready for a weekend of activity.

CKS Main Street will also be hosting a Store Wide Sale and Gear Swap throughout the weekend! If you’re looking to buy or sell new and used river gear, this is a great opportunity to update your quiver or swap sports entirely.

The Annual Disc Golf Tournament and the Spirit Trail Run 5K, Half, and Full Marathon, as well as other separately organized events, will be taking place this weekend in Buena Vista in addition to CKS Paddlefest.
