The annual Rivertown Rivival takes place at The David
Yearsley River Herritage Center in Petaluma this Saturday, July 21st.
Our family had so much fun at the event last year that I wanted to share our
pictures and let you know what you can expect to see this year.
The Rivertwon Rivival is an art-based, thematic festival (think
the Old West meets the Victorian era) that celebrates the history of the Petaluma
River, and raises funds for the River Heritage Center.
This community festival
includes over 100 musicians, an art boat flotilla, art boat drag races, local
food vendors, lots of children’s activities and even $5 wedding ceremonies!
Their “Kidstown” will include activities, crafts and
entertainment for the preschool and early elementary school set designed by
Heidi Overman, and a special area with magic tricks and special craft projects
for tweens and teens designed by Margaret Kuffel.
This year, Kai{Squared} has volunteered to be the wedding
coordinators at the festival. Danielle and Kiri have designed an authentic
wedding site that will host approx. 20 fun and whimsical $5 weddings and vow
renewals, starting from 11am.
Everywhere you turn there will be volunteers and visitors
in costume, circus performers, dancers, magicians, theater troupes and aerialists.
A great deal of effort goes into every aspect of this experience from
hand-painted ticket booths, to signage, dock creation and custom built stages.
1. Live
music acts on three stages, this is the Channel Stage at the entrance of the festival
2. The
flotilla and art boats will begin at approx. 1 pm.
3. The
Arts Council of Sonoma County and local artists have prepared many art installations.
4. $5 weddings
ceremonies coordinated by Kai{Squared}
5. My
son particularly loved experiencing the vintage tractors and carts last year!
