FIBArk is the nation's oldest whitewater festival and Salida's signature event. Since 1949, every June during the Spring snow runoff, Salida has hosted FIBArk, "First in Boating on the Arkansas."

Days are filled with whitewater races on the Arkansas River, live music on the stage in Riverside Park, rides, food, parties, dogs, happy people and great times!
