The Cuyahoga Falls Fest is an event for whitewater paddling athletes to gather and experience what Ohio has to offer. Our focus is the Cuyahoga River Upper Gorge and the primary vendors are the Downtown Cuyahoga Falls businesses, restaurants, bars, and breweries.
Cuyahoga Falls Fest is a "fun for all" event for spectators and paddlers. Whether paddling or spectating, beautiful Downtown Cuyahoga Falls can be explored by everyone.
