6th Annual Smith River Fest

Website

Bring the entire family out for a fun day to celebrate the great outdoors! Started in 2008, Smith River Fest is an annual event held each year in Martinsville - Henry County, Virginia. The purpose of the event is to showcase the Smith River and surrounding region as a recreational destination and a venue for novice and veteran paddlers alike to experience the beautiful waters of the Smith.

This event is truly a celebration of all things associated with the Smith River: paddling, hiking, biking, fishing and nature watching! Paddlers will love the variety that the Smith River offers from calm floats to class I/II rapids. There really is something for everyone at Smith River Fest!
