Different course, same spirit.
After a 4 year hiatus, we at the Young Professionals of Naples and our partners are set to host the 45th annual Great Canoe Races of Naples on June 14th! This year, we’ll be at Baker Park and working directly with The Parks Department to throw an event we won’t soon forget. Equal parts Canoe Races, Vendor Fair, Live Entertainment, and Beer Garden, you can expect the tradition to live on while introducing new experiences including a “First responder’s heat.” See you at the finish line!
