 Our EVENTS

Flatwater’s premier fundraising event happens annually, bringing together a crew of 200+ paddlers from all over the US. Together we paddle 21-miles on Lake Austin to raise money for mental health therapy in the wake of cancer.

Applications are now OPEN!

The 2025 inaugural Flatwater Fest will deliver a premium, family-friendly experience that includes performances by reputable artists (stay tuned for official announcements!), a curated selection of delicious food vendors, and libations from some of Austin’s best beverage purveyors.

Tickets go on sale August 1st!
