For Evan () and Phoebe (), Palmer Fest is about so much more than paddling.

This year marked their 5th Palmer Fest, and they spent plenty of time on the river paddling, watching clinics, and soaking in the atmosphere that makes this weekend so special.

Whether they're learning new skills, cheering on fellow paddlers, or catching up with friends old and new, it's the people that keep them coming back year after year.

Thanks for being part of what makes Palmer Fest such a special community, Evan and Phoebe. We can't wait to see you again next year! 🛶✨
