What’s Cooking at KanFest 2025?

KanFest isn’t just about paddling! it’s also about community, celebration, and eating well after a big day on the water. This year, we’re bringing food back to KanFest! with meals, snacks, and drinks to keep you fueled from first light to final feature.

FREE Saturday Night BBQ: After the races wrap up Saturday, join us back at the campground for a free BBQ dinner, sponsored by Homeland Manufacturing and Grizlok. We’re serving up classic all beef burgers and veggie burgers, grilled and handed out with love by the Paddle Junkies crew.

FREE Saturday Night Non-Alcoholic Bar (BYOB!): Thanks to DeLauretis Wealth Management, we’ll have a non-alcoholic bar open alongside the BBQ so you can grab a cold drink and keep the good vibes flowing. Bring your own beverages if you want to mix something up.

FREE Hot Breakfast & Hot Coffee (Saturday + Sunday Morning): For those early mornings, we’ve got you covered: grab hot breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday morning. Fresh coffee will also be available from 8:30 AM to noon, so you can caffeinate before hitting the water.

Important: All meals are bring your own plate, cutlery, and cup. Help us keep waste to a minimum and the river clean.
