Tuck Fest is a three-day festival that celebrates the outdoor lifestyle through competitions, exhibitions, demos and live music at the U.S. National Whitewater Center (USNWC), dedicated to the promotion of the active, outdoor lifestyle.

The festival features a variety of outdoor sport competitions that also include trail running, slacklining, and even adventure racing.  The name “Tuck Fest” comes from the Tuckaseegee Ford and Trail, a historical landmark located at the USNWC.
