There will be wrist bands sold which will get you entered into our raffle and discounts on food and merchandise at local stores and restaurants. You can participate in Paint the River, our Silent Auction, and see many vendors showing wares as well. This year there will be new and exciting additions to the music and entertainment.
The Moody Street Bridge will have Art Vendors along the length of it on Saturday. This festival will be held RAIN or SHINE, as we have alternate venues for all the bands in case of rain.
There will be a special children's venue in Landry Park with face painting, puppet shows, and circus acts, and activities for children by the Charles River Museum of Industry.
There will be a Guided Nature Walk hosted by the Waltham Land Trust that will depart from the Family Activity/Footbridge area of Landry Park at Noon on Sunday the 17th. We'll walk downstream for about 45 minutes, then turn around and head back, returning well in time for the River Ceremony at 2pm.
