Riverfest is a celebration of the wonderful resources, both natural and artistic that run though the heart of Waltham. We hope to bring hundreds if not thousands of adults as well as children to the downtown for music, dancing, painting on the River, juried showing of art in Moody Street windows, strolling, shopping, eating, and boating and kayaking.
Dates are: Friday June 15th 5PM-9PM, Saturday 10AM to 9PM, and Sunday June 17th 11AM-5PM
