Prepare to immerse yourself in three unforgettable days at RiverFest, nestled in the scenic beauty of Jim Dietrich Park along the meandering Schuylkill River. Discover the rhythm of local talent across two captivating stages—one electric, one acoustic—set against the tranquil river backdrop. With over 20 musical acts spanning genres from bluegrass to indie, there's something to delight every musical palate. Indulge in a culinary adventure with a diverse array of food vendors, and for those 21 and over, savor the finest selections of wine, beer, mead, and moonshine available throughout the festival grounds. RiverFest kicks off with a charming soft opening on Friday evening, August 22nd, from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, centered around the historic farmhouse only, featuring live music and a tantalizing selection of drinks and delicious fare. On Saturday, August 23rd, from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Sunday, August 25th, from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, the entire trail comes alive with artisan crafters, direct-sale businesses, and more, offering unique finds and local treasures.
