The premiere watersports festival on the Napa River, the Third Annual Napa River Paddle Day returns on Saturday, September 19th at 10:00am to the Napa Valley Yacht Club.

Napa River Paddle Day is an opportunity for the community to explore our river while learning about local river sport activities via the NVYC, Ohana Wa’a Outrigger Canoe Club and other Napa River businesses. Canoe & kayak rides, stand up paddle board lessons and a paddle sports race are just some of the activities planned for the day. On land participants can enjoy boating safety demonstrations, music, food, raffle prizes, a silent auction and more! Race entry fees and food purchases go toward supporting the Ohana Wa’a Keiki (youth) paddler scholarship fund.
