The 22nd annual Riverfest celebration will be held next weekend, June 19 and 20. This is the annual celebration of the federally protected Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord Wild and Scenic Rivers, designated by Congress in 1999 for their “Outstandingly Remarkable Values” of scenery, ecology, recreation, history, and literature.
This year will feature a mix of physical and virtual events, including local group paddles in Wayland, Lincoln, and Saxonville. Walks focus on birding in Concord and Thoreau in Billerica. Fishing and snake handling for children and bike riding for everyone, along with yoga, an art installation, and painting classes will be offered. A dance presentation is featured in Concord.
Several self-guided walks and virtual tours are available. Beyond fishing and snakes, a number of children’s recreational resources are available, and a number of maps and guides to the rivers can be downloaded or picked up in the watershed.
