The Festival

Race for the Rivers Festival is on Saturday September 4, 2010

 

Be on hand at Frontier Park when the paddlers arrive Saturday afternoon for the Race for the Rivers Festival. All are welcome to come out and enjoy live music, great food and family-friendly, hands-on environmental educational displays and activities - including a custom canoe & kayak show! The festival serves as the perfect place to keep tabs on the leader boards as you mingle among the racers and peruse outdoor gear from local vendors – not to mention, it’s a prime spot to watch the racers cross the flying finish line at day’s end!

 Want to get involved?  Have more money than time?  VOLUNTEER!  The Race for the Rivers Festival needs you.  Contact info@racefortheriver.org or check out the volunteering page.

VENDOR APPLICATION PACKETS for 2010 will be on-line soon.
