Riverfest

Sunday, July 26
10 a.m.–5 p.m.

Where will you find eight jewelers, five woodworkers, four glassmakers, four textile artists, four potters, photographers, fine artists, crafters, candlemakers, bookmakers, and more? At Riverfest, of course!

The 19th annual celebration of art, music, and ecology, Riverfest kicks off festival Sunday, July 26 at 10 a.m. on Main Street in Narrowsburg, NY. The festivities continue through 5 p.m., rain or shine. Over 45 vendors will be displaying their crafts.

Riverfest, presented by Delaware Valley Arts Alliance and sponsored by Catskill Regional Medical Center, is a day to meet artists, hear live music, chat with environmentalists, and bid on one-of-a-kind posters created by local artists. The poster auction, starting at 12 p.m., benefits the Alliance Gallery annual exhibition program. Visit ArtsAllianceSite.org to preview the posters available. New designs will be added weekly until July 25.

“Riverfest is a participatory event,” says executive director of Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, Elaine Giguere. “There are those who enter their dogs in the parade; kids who make art at Kids Korner; those who come to learn about fly tying or gardening; those who bid on posters; and of course, those who love shopping for unique arts and crafts.”

River Dogs on Parade begins on Main Street at 10 a.m. and at 12 p.m., the Riverfest Poster Auction begins at the Mainstage with Auctioneer Jerry Malek. The afternoon will feature music at Mainstage, a Kids Korner, and NaCl Stiltwalkers.
