River Street Festival floats on this weekend
Participate in the Stand-Up Paddleboard Sprint. Or watch and cheer the different divisions costumed-up, or not. A 3K walk/run is in the morning and dance to live music in the evening near the beer garden. Take the young-un’s to the Kid Zone at the old Superior School. Visit vendor booths and guess the time of the Derby Ball for prizes on Saturday. On Sunday have a leisurely float from Big Eddy to Dry Creek with your friends where shuttle service is provided.

The second annual River Street Festival Great Montana SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) Sprint is next up for family excitement in Mineral County. The name has become larger, but then the event has certainly grown in accordance.
A short recap: The Great Montana SUP Race debuted last year and was the brainchild of the Mineral County Rec Club. The Rec Club was formed by Drew Hanson with a slug of support from locals who went to school with Hanson years ago, and residents that saw the potential of what this event could become.
“OK, on Saturday the 13th, we’ve added a warm-up 3K trail walk/run at 9 in the morning to kick off the weekend. Then at 10, registration closes and there will be a meeting with officials and all participants,” Hanson explained. “At 11, is the Great Montana SUP Sprint and we separated out the categories to give competitors better chances at winning prizes. We have a youth (10-17), Amateur, Pro, Golden Race (over 60), and of course, the Superhero Race that goes back upriver.”
