Details

On the evening of the July full moon, we will gather at the riverโ€™s edge and paddle into the twilight beneath the rising moon.
The James becomes something different after sunset โ€” quieter, wilder, silvered with reflection and mystery. This paddle is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the living world around us.
Bring your kayak, paddleboard, canoe, or vessel of choice and join us for a peaceful moonlit journey on the water.
โœจ On the water: 7:45 PM

  • Sunset: ~8:16 PM

โœจ Moonrise glow + blue hour magic: roughly 8:30โ€“9:00 PM
That sweet spot right after sunset is when the river starts looking like a fantasy novel cover and everyone suddenly speaks 30% softer for no scientifically valid reason

Please bring:
๐Ÿ•ฏ Life jacket
๐ŸŒ™ Headlamp or soft lights
๐Ÿ•ฏ Water and snacks
๐ŸŒ™ Bug spray
๐Ÿ•ฏ An open heart and a sense of wonder

All experience levels are welcome, though basic paddling skills are recommended.
Weโ€™ll paddle together beneath the full moon, honoring the beauty of summer, the river, and the quiet magic that appears when people gather outside under the night sky.
RSVP if you feel called to join us.
