ShellNo Flotilla ~ Paddle in Seattle!
May 16, 2015 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm
Join our fun family-friendly flotilla on the water around Shell’s GIANT oil rigs.
Come together with thousands of others who give a damn, for an adventurous afternoon full of music, art, and entertainment.
There will also be tons of fun and colorful flair happening on the beach. Because We LOVE landlubbers!
10AM – Kayak Check-In and registration begins
11-12:30 Launch Boats
1PM – On water procession begins
2PM – On-stage program begins at Jack Block Park
3:30PM – On-stage program ends and all vessels return to launch sites.
Kayak rentals will be available for folks who don’t have boats (sliding scale). Kayak instructors will help orient individuals with limited experience. We’ll have trained safety coordinators out on the water keeping kayaktivists safe.

PLAN TO ARRIVE EARLY. We encourage public transit. We are also organizing a shuttle from a nearby parking area. Traffic will be very congested and may take 30-45min longer than normal. After RSVPing we’ll be better able to update you as all the details and plans come together. We hope to have all boats in the water by 1pm and registering now will make that more likely.
If you’re a landlubber you can take part in the festivities at Jack Block park at 2130 Harbor Ave SW.
This is the event page for the first day of our three-day Festival of Resistance to Shell’s Arctic drilling plans! This festival will take place on May 16, 17, and 18.
