Celebrate Our Local Rivers

Celebrate Our Wild and Scenic Rivers at the 13th Annual RiverFest, June 20 - 22 


Don’t miss the 13th Annual RiverFest celebration—a rare opportunity to enjoy a full weekend of activities free of charge! RiverFest, which celebrates the Sudbury, Assabet and Concord Wild and Scenic Rivers, includes 45 events in nine communities from Framingham to Lowell.

Events will be hosted on and along the rivers and will include boat rides, bird watching walks, fly fishing, and canoe trips, as well as historical reenactments, art exhibits, and music. Kids may especially enjoy events allowing them to explore the river banks or get an up close look at some wildlife.

In recognition of their outstanding and remarkable resource value, the U.S. Congress designated 29 miles of the Sudbury, Assabet and Concord Rivers as part of the national Wild and Scenic River System in 1999. The River Stewardship Council (RSC) was created to promote the preservation of these river resources. 

The RSC is a partnership of representatives from each of the eight shoreline communities, state and federal agencies and three regional conservation organizations.
