After brekkie at the Wendouree Tearooms stroll down the terrace to celebrate the 2022 Avon Descent at the eighteenth annual Toodyay International Food Festival. Held on the banks of the river, you can combine all of the thrills and spills from the race with delicious international cuisine, a heated marquee to eat your food with live race commentary and a fantastic entertainment line-up featuring African drumming, Indonesian dancing, Cossack dancers, bands and food/cooking demonstrations.

2022 is the 49th anniversary of the Avon Decent; an exciting two day trial, over 124 gruelling kilometres. The race competitors conditions ranging from long stretches of flat water that can test the endurance of the fittest athletes, rapids, thick ti trees, rocky drops to all the other challenges of a changing, wild river environment.

Relay teams of two and four can also compete. Competitors are supported by family and friends as support crews and thousands of spectators line the banks to cheer them on.
