Get your Gauley Fest Tickets online and WIN! And Gauley Fest News......
Online tickets sales for Gauley Fest are available now. Gauley Fest is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. Ticket sales help fund the river project work we do at American Whitewater and we are grateful for every attendee! Early bird tickets start at $60 for Thursday entrance / $50 for Friday entrance / $40 for Saturday entrance. In person gate admission will be through cash or Eventbrite only this year. To encourage folks to buy tickets in advance (and help the flow of event traffic). As a pretty sweet incentive, all Eventbrite (pre-sale online) ticketholders will be entered to win an American Whitewater Ocoee Watershed Drybag. Boom.
We’re still looking for volunteers to put on the biggest whitewater festival in all the lands. It takes an entire village to come together to put on this event, which started in 1983 to celebrate the derailment of a hydro-electric project that would have disrupted the flows on the Gauley River. If you sign up, you get a free event t-shirt and will be entered to win some super drawing prizes. You’ll also get good river karma for one full year.
Finally, we’re looking forward to one of the greatest costume parties of all time this year at Gauley Fest! The event, which starts on September 18th and concludes on September 21st, will showcase a Bridal Party Theme. Attendees will have a chance to renew their vows to American Whitewater with membership support and receive a commemorative token. Whether you choose to dress up as a bride, groom, wedding officiant, flower girl/boy, or a bridesmaid/groomsman, you’ll be in the running to win our costume party on Saturday night. We’re excited to see you all show up rocking those 70s tuxedos and wedding dresses!
