Ways to get involved!
We are always looking for volunteers and donations to make the Penn Cove Water Festival a success! If you're interested in lending a hand, we have a variety of roles available, from event setup and take down, to race committee and everything inbetween. We also would love to have you get involved with the board and association. And if you're unable to volunteer, consider making a donation to help us cover the costs of the event. Or participate in a fundraising event such as the Story Slam. Every little bit helps! Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at the festival.
Learn more at the Recruiting Gathering, October 22 , 6-8pm, Coupeville Rec Hall

Give the gift of Bread!
This event provides a unique opportunity for local residents to become involved by "extending a hand of friendship" to the Native guests. Following the custom of Native Americans and First Nations of Canada, who show hospitality to their visitors by presenting gifts, the community welcomes the participants through giving gifts of homemade bread.
Offer Financial Support
Wow, we are thrilled that you are considering donating to the Penn Cove Water Festival, a 501 c 3 non-profit organization! Your contribution will make a huge impact in our mission to provide a space to enjoy Native American canoe racing, entertainment, crafts and culture and by giving everyone a chance to learn about, appreciate, and protect the environment in which we all live. We can't thank you enough for your support and generosity. ​​
