Event details

Charlotte’s U.S. National Whitewater Center throws an outdoor-sports block party for Tuck Fest, a three-day mix of races, clinics, demos, and live music across its sprawling riverfront campus.

Families can watch the action, try beginner-friendly activities, and explore trails along the Catawba River. Come for an afternoon and stay for the evening sets, then reset the next day with more river time.
