Riverfest
Riverside community gathering
Riverfest is a festival or celebration centered on a river, typically featuring live music, food vendors, boat races, and fireworks along the waterfront.
Many American cities host annual Riverfests as community events: The whole town comes out for Riverfest every Labor Day weekend.
The name combines river with fest in the pattern of Oktoberfest.
