With the 2021 FIBArk Whitewater Festival just around the corner, a breakdown of some of the event highlights. The festival makes its return after a smaller focus of the events in 2020 due to the OCVID-19 pandemic. The festival runs from Thursday, June 17 to Sunday, June 20.
This year, the water events are free (as in past years) but in order to support FIBArk’s nonprofit youth paddling program, the live music will be ticketed. This will also help keep numbers down to comply with current health guidelines.
Event registration is open and must be done online by noon on June 17. Tickets may be purchased at the Salida Chamber of Commerce; cash only will be accepted.
