9/26: International Paddling Film Festival

On Thursday, September 26 at 6:30pm, Blacksburg Parks and Recreation will host the 19th annual Paddling Film Festival at the Lyric Theatre.

The Paddling Film Festival is an international adventure film tour presenting the world’s best paddling films of the year – whitewater, sea kayaking, canoeing, SUP, action, and lifestyle – in more than 120 cities and towns across Canada, the United States, and around the world.

With 29 inspiring paddling films shortlisted for the World Tour, including the 11 festival category winners, audiences will see hairy whitewater action, sea kayakers exploring remote coastlines, northern river canoe expeditions, international river travel films, motivating environmental documentaries and grueling kayak fishing battles. The Paddling Film Festival World Tour is produced by Rapid Media.

Doors to this event open at 6:00pm. Tickets are on sale now: https://www.thelyric.com/event/2024-paddling-film-festival/
