Rockin' & Raftin Paddle Fest

The inaugural Rockin' & Raftin' Paddle Festival is the city of North Augusta’s summer kick-off on Saturday, June 4, 8am in Riverside Village.

Rockin' & Raftin' will be hosted by Mayor Briton S. Williams and was formulated based on citizen input. The event will include paddling and raft races on the Savannah River, a curated group of exhibitors, and live music at the Sharon Jones Amphitheater.

There is a small entry fee for the races, but the festival and live music will be free to the public.

ā€œRockin' & Raftin' is a celebration of the Savannah River along South Carolina’s riverfront, the City of North Augusta! It’s where water and outdoors enthusiasts come together and share their passion for the river,ā€ said Mayor Williams.

The event will be a collaborative effort with the Augusta Rowing Club, the City of North Augusta, and North Augusta Parks, Recreation and Tourism.

The centerpiece of Rockin' & Raftin' will be 250-meter races for kayaks, SUP’s, and ā€œcustom raftsā€ on the Savannah River. Along the riverbank, festival goers will find food trucks, and outdoors-oriented exhibitors. An awards ceremony will be held at Sharon Jones Amphitheater immediately following the races.

Festivities will close out with a free concert in the amphitheater featuring the Mason Jars
