The Paddling Film Festival has been showcasing the very best paddling films since 2006. Be inspired to explore rivers, lakes and oceans, push extremes, appreciate wild places and fully embrace the paddling lifestyle. Join us at the Lincoln Theatre on Sunday, October 12th at 3 PM  -- then, go paddling. We’re pretty sure you’ll want to. 

​

This year, the Paddling Film Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary with a lineup that promises to be the best yet. Travel from the world’s first huck off a glacier in Svalbard to roaring rapids on the Zambezi; from Scotland's misty lochs to the workshop of a legendary canoe builder; and from a record-setting paddle on the Mississippi River to exploring friendship in Utah's Desolation Canyon. These films don't just tell adventure stories -- they will plant the seeds for future ones.

​

Proceeds from this year's event will support the Happy Orcas Adventure Camp Scholarship Fund, allowing us to continue providing incredible adventurous experiences for everyone. Your participation not only enriches the festival but also helps ensure that these life-changing opportunities remain accessible to all eager explorers. Together, we can make a difference and share the joy of adventure with even more individuals.
