🛶 That’s a Wrap on MACKFEST 2026! 🛶
​It’s hard to believe it has already been a week since we were all together—how time flies! We thought we’d wait before sharing some photos to remind everyone of the incredible times we had last weekend.
We truly hit the jackpot this year. The weather turned out way better than predicted and water levels stayed at a manageable level despite flooding issues in other regions.
​MACKFEST is always special as the official kickoff that shakes off the winter rust, but this year felt especially legendary. MACK IS BACK!
We want to send out a massive THANK YOU to everyone who made it happen:
​
​Our Incredible Volunteers: You guys were the backbone of the weekend! A massive thank you for the heavy lifting with setup, keeping things moving at registration, managing the raffle, and tackling the cleanup. To everyone who stepped in to help whenever something came up—you are rockstars.
​Our Generous Sponsors: A special thank you to our sponsors—through your incredible donations, we were able to cover all festival expenses and still have money left over to donate to local charity! Your support makes a real difference in the community.
​The Attendees: A huge thanks for joining us this year, opening your wallets and taking part so enthusiastically in the raffle—it was a huge success because of you.
​The "River Watch" Crew: Thank you to everyone who shared river condition and water level updates.
The Landowners: We are incredibly grateful to the local landowners who graciously allow us river access. Your generosity is the foundation of this festival.
The Marmora curling club & Community: A huge shoutout to the town and people of Marmora for welcoming our paddling family back once again. We love being here!
​Thanks again for being part of this epic tradition. Hope to see you all in 2027!
