FriendsFest is our annual appreciation event for our Friends of the Riverfront members. Food, drinks, crafts, and social connection – the vibe is laid-back and family-friendly – and THIS year, it’s also going to be a birthday party for Friends! Come help us celebrate our 35th and all we’ve achieved WITH MEMBERS’ HELP.
FriendsFest will feature gratis beer and NA beverages, gratis food (and birthday cake), and as always, we’ll have games, a scavenger hunt that brings guests together, and Friends merch giveaways – and Friends staff will be there to share the latest on what we’re doing.
THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE CAKE!
Members will also have a chance to win our popular Three Rivers Heritage Trail shirts and 35th anniversary poster!
