Open CanOe Festival
evOking the spiRit OF aDventuRe
six years of Open Canoe Festivals on the River Drôme have revealed a strong, vibrant and truly international canoe-culture of independent tripping and journeying. stretching from Denmark to italy and from spain to austria – across the heart of where modern recreational canoeing began – this culture resonates with the aspirations of ordinary, everyday canoeists for freedom, self- reliance, adventure and discovery.
