π£βοΈ FIBArk Is Here! π
One of the biggest advantages of living in Salida? You don't have to plan a trip to experience one of Colorado's most iconic events; it happens right in your backyard.
What started in the 1930s as a way to showcase Salida and the Arkansas River has grown into FIBArk, America's longest-running whitewater festival. Every year, thousands of visitors come to town to experience the races, live music, events, and energy that make Salida so special.
For locals, it's more than a festival. It's a reminder of what makes this community unique: a vibrant downtown, endless outdoor adventure, and a river that brings people together.
While visitors get a weekend of fun, Salida residents get to enjoy this lifestyle all year long.
Happy FIBArk weekend, Salida! Here's to another year of celebrating our river, our community, and the mountain town we're lucky enough to call home. πποΈβ€οΈ
