Raft Races for the creative and competitive
The River Festival Raft Races are a fantastic way to show your creativity! It’s a chance to demonstrate raft building skills and paddling ability to a crowd of over 10,000 spectators whilst also raising money for charity. Themed or promotional rafts are all welcomed!
If this floats your boat, then take a look at the rules and complete the raft race application form below.
The Raft Race is organised by the Rotary Club of Bedford Park
The 2024 River Festival will include countless river activities, eight live music and performance areas, the Sports Island, Family Island, Green Earth Village, the wonderful offerings of the Festival Market, Bedford Festival of Motoring, plus so much more!
Make sure you keep the 20th & 21st July 2024 free in your diaries so that you don’t miss out on any of the action.
