The snow has melted and the weather is warm, summer is officially on its way. May has been a great month for us at Breckenridge Whitewater and June is looking even better. Here is a calendar of some amazing events in our area for you to attend after a day of rafting or zip lining.
- This year marks the 65th anniversary for the FIBArk in Salida. FIBArk stands for First in Boating on the Arkansas River. This four day river festival starts on June 13th and is host to many events including the longest whitewater race in the US. While this festival focuses primarily on the river events it is also host to many different types of competitions off the river. Off-river events include foot and bicycle races, air band competitions, disc golf, and beer tastings.
