Be an early bird floater on Memorial Day weekend, and reap the rewards of an available parking space to then enjoy whooping and hollering on the rocking Lower Salt River rapids.
Memorial Day weekend swings into full action during the award-winning 18th annual Salt River Heroes = Litter Zero on the Lower Salt River in Northeast Mesa. The national Take Pride in America event takes place on Saturday, May 25 through Monday, May 27, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This is the busiest weekend of the five-month tubing season.
Salt River Tubing employees will be distributing free litter bags to tubers as they prepare to launch their floating picnics on the Salt River. The event offers live entertainment, free giveaways, beach line dancing and hula hoop contests, which enhance the thrill and chill theme of Arizona’s Floating Picnic.
“Early bird floaters are encouraged to arrive at Salt River Tubing by 10 a.m. during the holiday weekend, as there is limited parking in Tonto National Forest,” said President/CEO Henri Breault. “The best advice is to arrive early at 8 a.m. to ensure parking and tube rental availability for fun in the sun.”
