Cody Wild West River Fest

The river festival is about bringing people together to celebrate one of Cody’s most exceptional natural resources, the Shoshone River. The festival will be fun for the whole family!  People of all ages will enjoy games on the river, fly fishing tournaments, yummy food, wading in the water, river sports, bluegrass concert, and learning how healthy rivers and healthy communities go hand-in-hand.

Wild West Riverfest takes place each August on the Shoshone River in Cody Wyoming. The festival is a fundraiser for WWPC and includes a variety of kayak, SUP, and raft races as well as a concert and other activities.
