It's time for RiverFest 2026, presented by the the Riverfront Parks Committee!

Saturday, June 27 is the date of our annual celebration in Nesbitt Park. Spend the day by the Susquehanna River with hands-on nature activities, family-friendly games and crafts, live music and fun giveaways. Explore wildlife demos, learn about river science, and enjoy time outdoors with your community. Saturday paddlers will arrive back in Nesbitt Park during the festival.

On June 26, 27, or 28, experience the thrill of a guided paddle on the Susquehanna with Susquehanna Kayak & Canoe Rentals. Glide through the picturesque waters and fully immerse yourself in this celebration of the river’s beauty.
