46th Great Canoe Race of Naples

Get your paddles ready! For the 46th year, the Naples Great Canoe Race is back! Take on the Gulf waters to test your skill and prove yourself against some of the area's best canoers and paddlers. Along with the canoe race, there will be a series of other events, including races for canoes, kayaks, and children, giving the whole family a chance to compete. Throughout the day, you'll get a chance to take in the local community spirit with shopping from local vendors, a beer garden, and live music performances from artists Matty Jollie, Moonstone Riders, Sun State Blues, and Rock Republic. If you're in the mood for some healthy competition, bring a boat and show the Paradise Coast what you've got!
