Description
Held each year at Woonsocket's River Island Park, RIVERFEST celebrates the beauty
and recreational value of the Blackstone River. A family-oriented event, RIVERFEST
is a fundraiser for the nonprofit Blackstone River Watershed Council. Musical
entertainment and plenty of food is available all day at the park. Adventurous
individuals are invited to compete in a 4.2 or 10 mile white/flat water races
in multiple categories. The canoe/kayak races run from the park to the Manville
Dam in Cumberland. The race course takes participants along a peaceful stretch
of the river that passes some of the most historic mills in the Blackstone River
Valley. Top finishers in each category are awarded trophies and cash prizes. The
action is captured by those participating in the photo contest. Canoe rentals
are available from Friends during the event. View the Riverfest
