Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival – Vendors 2025

Are you a brand specializing in outdoor or whitewater gear? Clack Fest, the premier whitewater festival in the Pacific Northwest, is the perfect place to showcase your products! With hundreds of outdoor enthusiasts, paddlers, and families attending, your booth will have prime exposure to a highly engaged audience. Clack Fest is the perfect place for kayak and raft manufactures to get paddlers in your boats for demo runs on the river. Theres also options for flat water making it a more inclusive event. For this years event we scheduled in lunch break on the race schedule to direct more people over to the Vendor Village for more engagement. 

Booth Cost: 10×10 – $250 / 10×20 – $375 / 15×40 – $500 

In kind donations can be made by vendors to help reduce vendor fees for up to 50% of booth space cost with approval from the UCWWF. Donations are applied to vendor fees for products at wholesale value. 

 New for 2025* Improved vendor layout

This year Clack Fest will include a map of the Vendor Village located at the registration booth, numbered booth spaces that correlate with the vendor map, vendor name and number provided to be posted at vendor booths.  Volunteers will be on site for Friday from 12-6 to help vendors find their sites. Vendors coming in after 6pm can use the map and correlate site numbers to find their vendor location. All vendors should be set up by Friday night. 

We are also trying to set up a vendor happy hour Friday night so we can all get together, grab a beer and chat about boating!

Please note that we’re required by the U.S. Forest Service to collect a 5% fee on all sales transactions made on site during the festival. Fees will be collected at the conclusion of the event. Each vendor is responsible for tracking sales and reporting transitions at the end of the event to the vendor coordinator.
