July 4th Paddle FAQs

Can I bring my cooler to ticketed events?

Sure thing, feel free to bring along whatever you like. Keep in mind there is limited space inside of boats, so small coolers generally work better. Please do not bring any glass.

Do I need to wear my life jacket during events?

Can you bring your pets?

We LOVE pets but ask you leave the pups at home for this event. Many pups are afraid of fireworks, and given the high volume of people launching at one time, we ask that pets stay home for everyone's safety.
