RiverFest (Saturday, October 5) is an annual celebration of the Columbia River and its vital role in the Tri-Cities region, highlighting its economic, environmental, and cultural significance. The event raises awareness about the river’s contributions to local industries such as agriculture, shipping, energy, and tourism, and underscores its importance in irrigation, hydropower, and transportation.
With exhibits, activities, and demonstrations, RiverFest educates the public on sustainable water management, conservation efforts, and the river’s ecological impact, while promoting recreational opportunities like boating, fishing, and kayaking. The event also honors the river’s cultural and historical significance, including its importance to Indigenous communities.
RiverFest brings together residents, businesses, government agencies, and environmental groups to foster community dialogue, build partnerships, and advocate for policies that balance economic development with environmental protection.
