Avon Descent Community Festivals fun for the whole family

The popular Avon Descent paddling race is back for another year in 2024 and will once again be supported by community festivals in Northam, Toodyay, Swan and Bayswater.

Residents and visitors of the participating councils will have the chance to celebrate this major event in the Western Australian sport and recreation calendar, get out and about in their local communities and enjoy all the action from the banks of the Avon River.

The festivals have been made possible thanks to more than $128,000 in funding from Lotterywest, and will go towards entertainment, sound and stage costs and spectator amenities and safety.
