Join us for Hudson’s annual RiverFest celebration on July 17-22. RiverFest encourages people to enjoy, understand and preserve this national treasure that flows right past our community.

The 2018 event will be expanded to include a wider range of activities designed to allow people of all ages to actively enjoy the Lower St. Croix River and all that it provides. Several local organizations and individuals have collaborated to make “RiverFest – A Party with a Purpose” a success. The five-day event celebrates the river while also recognizing the need to preserve its health and beauty.

The RiverFest activities are planned to appeal to a variety of people. All of the activities share a common thread of building awareness of the river, our environment and education on the need to preserve our water quality.
