Pigeon RiverFest 2026

Make a splash this summer at the Pigeon RiverFest in Canton! Beat the heat with a float in the Pigeon River or compete as a team in the Outrageous Parade tubing challenges. Take a kayaking lesson, snorkel with Haywood Waterways, paddleboard with Waynesville Recreation, and learn to cast a fishing line with Mountain Fly Outfitters. Dry off as you browse craft vendors and food trucks and listen to live music by Red Clay Revival, then enjoy the afterparty at riverside Current Tavern.
