The Best Adventure Festivals, Competitions, and Expeditions to Do in 2019

June 28–29

Varmahlíð, Iceland

A celebration of the Arctic’s everlasting summer sun, river rats from around the globe gather on the East Glacial River for camping, live music, and dropping down some serious falls. Festivities commence with an overnight rafting trip down an epic stretch of canyon with spine-chilling rapids before the Fire & Ice Creek Race, an extreme whitewater competition that’s open to everyone. Get to Iceland a few days early and you can also catch the Secret Solstice Music Festival, with headliners like Black Eyed Peas, Martin Garrix, and Rita Ora.
