Riverfest is jam-packed with fun activities throughout the day – don’t miss out on a single minute!
Emceed by Kevin McDonough who will be providing colorful commentary, this is a “don’t miss opportunity” for your pup (or faux pup) to strut their stuff before a panel of judges Greg Triggs, Donna Fellenberg, and Dean Scharf as well as a jubilant crowd. Register your dog in advance ($10) by calling DVAA at (845) 252-7576 or sign up the morning of Riverfest in front of Narrowsburg Feed & Grain starting at 9 am.
Be sure to bring your kids to the Kids Crafting Corner where young artists will get a chance to immerse themselves in various arts & crafts activities including making their own "Riverfest Poster"!
Riverfest welcomes this celebrated duo of emcees / writers / performers, who create ecological, and sociological songs, videos, and live shows.
Combining elements of Hip-Hop, comedy and performance art, Nate & Hila stir the heart and stimulate the mind about the state of things on the planet Earth!
Farm Arts Collective brings their special blend of street theater to Narrowsburg's Main Street with a selection of pieces from their current production "Dream on the Farm".
The Riverfest Poster Auction, the centerpiece of the day’s events, takes place on the main stage. It has become a “can’t miss” tradition and community favorite.
Over 40 original, one-of-a-kind posters created by local artists, will be sold in a live public auction to the highest bidder.
Artworks will be on display in DVAA’s gallery window. Not only will you be able to preview the works online but this year you can place bids on pieces in advance of the live sale. Proceeds support DVAA’s programs in the visual arts and participating artists.
