Event Information
Join us at AQ Outdoors for the International Packraft Film Festival!
Packrafts are opening up new ways to explore and access our planet. From remote rivers to local waterways, this small and versatile boat has unlocked big adventures all over the world!
The International Packraft Film Festival celebrates the stories that grow from this freedom of movement. Through films from across the globe, IPFF highlights the creativity, curiosity, and passion behind packrafting, and the many ways people use packrafts to connect with wild places and with each other.
From whitewater and river travel to multi-day wilderness routes, bike-rafting trips, canyon exploration, fishing and hunting expeditions, and relaxed family floats, packrafting takes many forms. Every journey looks a little different, and every story matters!
Whether you're a seasoned paddler, an outdoor enthusiast or just curious, this unique Calgary event promises high-energy action, inspiring stories, and a deep dive into the sport's unique challenges.
