Kick off Independence Day festivities in the Oklahoma City Boathouse District at the 2021 Stars & Stripes River Festival. This Fourth of July themed festival combines on-the-water fun with food trucks, live music, RIVERSPORT Adventures, whitewater rafting and racing throughout the day with fireworks to end the evening!

To give you a taste of what to expect, here are a few highlights from the 2019 festival: Competitors took to the water in the RIVERSPORT Challenge kayak and 5K race, Stars & Stripes Regatta and PaddleFest Dragon Boat Festival. Dog adoptions were available throughout the day courtesy of Oklahoma City Animal Welfare. The RIVERSPORT Whitewater Rafting League Championship was also hosted during the day at the RIVERSPORT Rapids Whitewater Rafting & Kayaking Center.
