Join us for an evening of powerful storytelling, community spirit, and river advocacy at the 2nd Annual Paddling Film Festival. This global touring festival features award-winning films that celebrate the joy, adventure, and beauty of paddling—on rivers, lakes, and oceans around the world.

All proceeds benefit the Farmington River Watershed Association (FRWA). Recently named one of America’s most endangered rivers by American Rivers, the Farmington needs our collective action and care. This event is a chance to come together, support river conservation, and kick off the summer with inspiration, friends, and fun.
