National Paddling Film Festival

  • 113 Great Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY, 40601 United States (map)

From our friends who paddle as much as they peddle!

For 38 years the National Paddling Film Festival has been hosting an annual competition to determine the best in paddle sport videos and images to support American Whitewater and river conservation. Since 1981 we've raised $175,000 in donations.

This year, our keynote speakers include *the* Nouria Newman, Adriene Levknecht, & Travis Overstreet!

Hosted at Buffalo Trace Distillery, our event combines world renowned speakers, cozy atmosphere & southern hospitality, a Chili Cook-off, bake-off, and the opportunity to score some serious swag! Brand new boat raffles, a silent auction, all the beer you can drink, and free bourbon distillery tours! All of this is topped off by the NOT-NPFF race (also known as the Jess Cup) on Elkhorn Creek, in honor of Jess Albright.

Video submissions will be accepted until February 5th. Submit your films and photos here: www.npff.org Tickets on sale now!!
