Paddlefest, the nation's largest paddling celebration, supports Adventure Crew and is only possible thanks to an amazing team of 200+ volunteers who donate their time and talents throughout the event weekend.
Whether you’re an individual or a part of a corporate group, you can make a huge impact on Paddlefest. We have volunteer options during the Outdoors for All Expo - our Friday night Paddlefest pre-party, as well as during Saturday’s paddle. We are particularly looking for folks to help with our Friday Night and Saturday morning GREEN TEAM - helping us manage the compostable and recyclable trash generated at both events.
You will need to register through our volunteer registration site: https://www.ohioriverpaddlefest.org/volunteer to get a Paddlefest t-shirt and to let us know what you are interested in doing. We have shifts starting on Friday, July 31st (set up to tear down) and again early Saturday morning, August 1st, through the Finish Line Festival (tear down starts at 2:00 PM).
This is our 25th year, and we are hoping to break the Guinness World Record for the most people in an organized paddling event. YOU can be part of that, too!
