The Gunnison River Festival board is proud to announce its 2026 schedule! The festivities will take place June 12 and 13, 2026!

The Gunnison River Festival (GRF) is meant to promote awareness and celebration of local rivers as a priceless resource through river-themed recreation, arts and education. We endeavor to promote the diversity of recreational activities available either on or near rivers, to encourage the use of the County’s Whitewater park for both residents and visitors, to stimulate the local economy by attracting multiple demographic groups by offering a variety of events and activities focused around celebrating rivers and to educate the public on the diversity of uses of rivers in the Upper Gunnison and to highlight local efforts to protect and enhance rivers and other aquatic environments.
