Donate to Riverfest

Our non-profit community event’s mission is to promote involvement in watershed stewardship of the South Fork Shenandoah River. Your support makes if possible to reach more students, families, visitors and residents that ever before and to keep the event free to the public.

In addition to the Riverfest festival itself, Riverfest also funds “Kid’s Day on the River”, which is a day-long educational opportunity for 200 seventh grade students in Waynesboro. This typically takes place two days prior to Riverfest. Additionally, we support other environmental educational and conservation opportunities throughout the year: assisting with South River Clean-Up efforts, providing Nature Camp and Chesapeake Bay youth scholarships, and supporting local classrooms.

Please consider donating to Riverfest so that this tradition can continue for years to come!
