If you missed last year’s event, you don’t want to miss this one! The second annual Butts In Boats Festival is back and better than last year! We’re doing it better and bigger better and have partnered with A Night Of Adventure, Camp Cook’s Cache, and Fish Out Of Water Food Truck to put on a great event of food, entertainment, and, of course, paddling!

If you’re wondering what to expect out of the weekend, here are some of the highlights:

• 2 Full-Days Paddling

• Catered To-Go Lunch from Camp Cook’s Cache

• Delicious dinner provided by Fish Out Of Water Food Truck

• Gear giveaways and prizes

• A great friggin’ time!

Paddlers are encouraged to bring whatever craft they would like to use for the weekend. All are welcome! We hope that this event will be the catalyst for paddlers to share experiences and skills to help grow the paddling community on Cape Breton Island and Nova Scotia.

Huge thanks to our volunteers and sponsors and to anyone that will become a volunteer or sponsor this year. We could not do it without you!
