DETAILS

200 paddlers from near and far will gather on the morning of June 13th, 2026 at Glidden Point Oyster Farm. You'll have a map of the three mile route which will also be clearly marked by guiding support boats. A special 'golden oyster' scavenger hunt will take place at one of our surprise stops on the river. You do not have to be a pro to participate; we have thoughtfully designed the course so that you'll be leisurely floating with, not against, the tide. Vessels of all shapes and sizes are welcome, and costumes are encouraged. Unleash your creative beast! Upon returning the paddling crowd back to Glidden around noon, the after-party commences! Live music with Poi Rogers, kid activity stations, Yeti Boys food truck and celebrating the ever important work of Hearty Roots. Not interested in the paddle portion, but want to party? That's ok! Scroll down to reserve your after-party only ticket. Kids 12 and under paddle and party for free, because, well, we love them.
