Join in the fun as Portland caps off the summer with the biggest event ever to celebrate the Willamette River.
Riverfest offers a family-friendly chance to come down by the riverside, get out on the water, take river tours, enjoy live music, learn first-hand about the river’s history and environment, clean-up the riverbank, and view river spectacles.
Thanks for making Riverfest 08 a success! Mark your calendars for Riverfest 09, tentatively scheduled for August 20-23rd, 2009 – and stay tuned for more information.
We invite you to read our Riverfest Report (pdf), which tells the story of last September’s event and highlights its many activities and participation details.
Riverfest has three simple goals:
 |
Make the Willamette a focus of fun and learning for all ages |
|
 |
Actively improve river ecosystems and watershed health through increased community engagement |
|
 |
Promote increased economic activity on the Riverfront |
