Sheyenne RiverFest 2027

Sheyenne RiverFest is one of the area’s biggest paddling events, bringing kayakers and canoeists together for a scenic float down the Sheyenne River. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or just looking for a fun summer adventure, RiverFest is a great way to get outside, enjoy the river, and experience the beauty of the Valley City area from the water.

Launch alongside hundreds of fellow paddlers and spend the day soaking up the scenery, sunshine, and small-town summer fun. After the float, stick around for more fun in Chautauqua Park, including the Valley Parks Craft & Vendor Show, food and beverages, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the park.
