2021 Festival Canceled

Written by Jason Learned on October 01 2021. Posted in News.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis and the closure of Neah Bay and the Hobuck Beach Resort, and to protect the health of the Tribe, event competitors, and volunteers, the 2021 Hobuck Hoedown Paddle Surf Festival has been postponed until October 1st and 2nd 2022.

We were hopeful for an expression session this year however with the Delta Variant driving cases up again it is just not possible. The COVID-19 crisis has created tremendous hardship for the Makah, Makah children, and the community of Neah Bay. The Hobuck Hoedown Paddle Surf Festival’s Board and Committee strongly urge competitors, event volunteers, and interested/able parties to support the Makah during this crisis by taking advantage of the donation opportunity below to help the tribe through this difficult period. 100% of donations will go the Makah Museum and Cultural Center in the form of an untethered donation intended to support Makah youth programs.
