Fun On The Uncompahgre /
FUNC Fest
Water sports enthusiasts, competitors, and the fun-loving Montrose community are invited to enjoy the Fun on the Uncompahgre “FUNC Fest” at the Montrose Water Sports Park. The annual event is hosted by the City of Montrose Office of Business and Tourism and features a full lineup of events on water and land.
UPDATE: Due to ongoing restrictions on the size of public events due to COVID-19, FUNC Fest has been canceled for 2020. We look forward to the prospect of resuming this fun-filled event in 2021.

The event also features stand-up paddle (SUP) board cross and boatercross events that target kayakers and SUP'ers. The public can bring their helmets and PFDs to take part in the FUNC-y River Parade.

About the Montrose Water Sports Park
The Water Sports Park (WSP), located on the Uncompahgre River in Riverbottom Park in the heart Montrose’s premier parks complex, consists of 1,000 feet of river channel. The WSP is one of the largest in the state of Colorado and one of the few in the U.S. to be accessible by ADA standards. Designed with all citizens in mind, from ankle waders to expert kayakers, the WSP is complemented by terraced spectator and beach areas, allowing a safe space for viewing right on the river. Sustained irrigation flows on the Uncompahgre River make the park an enticing destination through late summer, long after other parks have lost their luster.
