Coney Island – our new venue.

Since Paddlefest has grown so big, we are moving to Coney Island this year (US 52 and I-275). It's a great location for our Kids Ex-Stream EXPO (10 – 2) and our Music & Outdoor Festival (4-midnight) on Friday, June 27. There's plenty of parking and lots of space for our bands, vendors, boat drop off and camping. Their wide ramp will give us plenty of room to launch boats for our 8.2 mile trip down the Ohio Saturday morning.

New this year – Our Great Ohio River Swim

Thanks to our partners, the new Cincinnati One World Triathlon, you can participate in our 1/2 mile swim across the Ohio (and back) after you paddle on Saturday, June 28. You can race or take your sweet time. The Swim will start at 11:30 am from the Serpentine Wall. You need to register separately for this event at www.cincytriathlon.com/register.html

Paddlefest Goes GREEN

We're working hard to make this year's Paddlefest as GREEN as possible. Check out the steps we are taking to GO GREEN. We'll have more updates about these initiatives to be more environmentally responsible in future updates.
