RiverFest, an annual five-day celebration of the St. Croix River, will return this year with an emphasis on preserving water quality. Festival events will be held July 22-26 at various locations in Hudson, Wisconsin.
“There are activities that are very focused on environmental issues in the river,” said Evy Nerbonne, member of the RiverFest marketing committee. “Then there are lots of family activities and events that bring people out to enjoy the river.”
This year’s RiverFest will kick off with the annual river cleanup where participants pick up garbage along the St. Croix River. The cleanup will be 10-11:30 a.m. July 22. Volunteers will meet at Hudson’s Lakefront Park Bandshell.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will do on-the-water demonstrations with its electrofishing boat at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. July 22 by the Lakefront Park Beach House.
A free St. Croix Valley Community Band Concert will start at 7 p.m. July 24 at the Lakefront Park Bandshell.
