Lockapalooza is a celebration of Rochester's whitewater kayaking community.

Lockapalooza is a two-day event that offers a variety of activities for kayakers, including free instruction for participants, organized races, and freestyle competition. The event is a big attraction for spectators and a great place to see the possibilities of our growing sport. GWC's Lock 32 Whitewater Park provides opportunities for youth and adults of all abilities to get on the water!
The course itself has a set of well defined squirt lines, two waves and two holes. 

The holes enable vertical moves (cartwheels), front flips (loops) and lots of other tricks. Best of all, we have consistent water all summer long. 

The competition is held on July 16, 20111 and begins with events such as slalom racing, boatercross, and freestyle rodeo.
Participants are divided into men’s junior, youth, or adult categories; women compete in their own division.

There will be free 1 hour kayak lessons, both flatwater and whitewater, and how to swim in whitewater on July 17, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00p.m.  Space is limited and will be on a first come first serve basis and be held on the hour.
