The 51st annual Bigfork Whitewater Festival returns May 23-24, bringing a full weekend of whitewater racing, community events, live music and river culture back to downtown Bigfork.
Hosted on the iconic “Wild Mile” section of the Swan River, the festival remains one of the longest-running whitewater events in the West and an annual kickoff to summer in the Flathead Valley.
