Musician Expression of Interest

musician EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST NOW OPEN

River Fest is a three-day celebration of music, arts, culture, and food, set against the stunning backdrop of the riverbank.

In 2024, Eskimo Joe, The Stone Apes, and Travis Collins lit up the River Fest stage, drawing record crowds and delivering unforgettable performances.

2025 saw the launch of Tom Busby's solo debut, a solid blues and roots line-up and the return of our live and local lineup!

We can't wait to program our 2026 festival!
