The Big Float 2016

Join us for the second annual Big Float, a fun, leisurely and family-friendly float down the river. Kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards, inner tubes and homemade rafts welcome.

This year, we're moving the beloved Homemade Raft Competition from PaddleFest to the Big Float, giving you more time to gather your crew and build that winning raft. After-party with local barbeque, SweetWater Brewing Company brews & live music.

The Savannah Riverkeeper is teaming up with SweetWater Brewing Company, Waterkeeper Alliance and local outfitters this summer to get people out on the water in their communities and celebrate the importance of clean water.

The Big Float will be Saturday, Aug. 27, at 9 a.m. Please meet to launch at 10 a.m.

$30 fee includes:

* entry to the float and after-party

* shuttle service to the launch

* one free beer at the after-party

* one barbeque meal

All participants must have a life jacket, water bottle and a paddle or oar (including tubes). Glass bottles are not allowed on the water. And remember, pack it in, pack it out. Please be respectful of the river, clean up after yourself and have a good time to #SaveOurSavannah!
