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.

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
