The annual Tatlowfest white-water festival in Smithers returns June 27th to 29th.
It is put on by the Smithers Whitewater Club with live music, food vendors, competitions, and various clinics.
“The club is all about removing barriers to entry for people to get into white-water and maintaining the site at Tatlow Falls for the public to use,” said Vice President Nick Meyer.
He added this is the third time the event has been held since going on a four-year hiatus but doesn’t know how long before then the event has been running.
The main competitions include surfing, a kayak race, and what they call the Rescue Olympics focusing on rescue activities.
“The Saturday is packed from first thing in the morning providing breakfast for people who camped, the sup and yoga courses begin, then by lunch time, we have the opening ceremonies and competitions begin,” Meyer said.
Anyone wishing to register for the competition, or to get tickets to attend, can do so on the club’s website.
