Community Calendar

The Ridgway RiverFest is a family-friendly celebration of the Uncompahgre River, our watershed and river recreation with all-age river races, live music, local food and drink, kids’ activities, watershed educational and cultural programs.

This year's RiverFest will kick off at 11am-12pm with river races. Later, at 3pm, are the main festivities, live music, and "Junk of the Unc" race.

RiverFest is produced by the Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership, a Ouray County nonprofit watershed group dedicated to helping protect the economic, natural, and scenic values of the Upper Uncompahgre River Watershed.

The highlight of the day is the infamous “Junk of the Unc” race in which boaters maneuver their craft, constructed from scrap materials not intended for river travel, through whitewater rapids and others’ junk, trying to keep it all intact until the finish line.

NEW Wellness Technology at Wellspring Vitality:

Shiftwave combines full-body vibration, guided breathwork, audio immersion, and light sensory input to support you in regulating your nervous system. This chair is tremendously beneficial for relieving tension, enhancing performance, and improving sleep. It is known for rapid stress relief and touted for its efficacy in shifting your brain from fight or flight into a healing state. It is great for traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, and general stress.

Through an agreement with the VA, we will be operating a clinical trial, in addition to providing Shiftwave sessions to Veterans and First Responders for FREE! The general public will also be able to book sessions at a suggested donation. At this workshop, we will provide more information, including studies that SHIFTWAVE has conducted, answer questions, and allow one person to demo the chair. All participants will leave with 50% off their next session. Folks interested in the clinical trial or booking sessions can call wellspring vitality at (970) 872-9355.
