It takes so many people working together to make a day like RiverFest!

A huge THANK YOU to our sponsors, vendors, food trucks, musicians, community organizations and volunteers — and to the Mayor’s Office, New Milford Parks & Recreation, Department of Public Works, New Milford Police Department, Fire Marshal’s Office, our Emergency Services Personnel, the Youth Agency, Big Wave Events and Legion Fireworks for all they did to help make the day a success.

And most of all, thank you to everyone who came out and joined us! You filled Young’s Field with families, friends, music, laughter and community spirit.

It truly takes a community — and what a great community we have. Thank you for making RiverFest a great day in the best town in the USA!

Walk along the River Trail as we transform the riverfront with glowing luminaries and cast beams of light across the Housatonic.
Then find your favorite spot along the river and stay for the fireworks at dark!

Please note: Portions of the River Trail will close during the fireworks display for safety.

RiverFest — Family. Friends. Community.
