Join American Whitewater at The Deerfield RiverFest on August 2nd at Berkshire East
 
Enjoy a weekend of paddling on the Deerfield River and then join us at Deerfield RiverFest for live music, paddlesports vendors, and a silent auction to benefit American Whitewater's river conservation and recreation access work throughout the northeast.
 
Admission to the event is $10 per person.

For more than 25 years, American Whitewater has hosted the Deerfield RiverFest to celebrate the successful dam relicensing process that provides 32 annual whitewater releases on the Dryway and 106 annual whitewater releases on Fife Brook.

The main festival activities take place on Saturday evening from 5-10pm at Berkshire East and provide entertainment for both paddlesport and non-paddlesport enthusiasts young and old.

The Deerfield River Festival is a critical fundraiser for American Whitewater, and is one of their premiere events.
