Welcome To The Greatest Slough on Earth!
2019: It’s Our Tenth Anniversary!
We are thrilled to be celebrating 10 years of reverential riverside revelry on the mighty Petaluma River. How did we make it this far? Was it divine intervention? Did the spirit move us? We think so! We continue to be inspired to bring the Revival to the P Town masses so we can all join together in communion to spread the word about conservation, community, artistry, music and old-timey fun for the whole family.
So come and be saved at Rivertown Revival on Saturday, July 20th, 2019. Hallelujah!
2019 volunteer sign-ups will open in mid-march!

Music is integral to the Rivertown Revival Experience. We're so lucky to have The Lost Church as our partner, bringing us our Music Captain, Josh Windmiller also of The Crux and Railroad Square Music Festival.
2018 Lineup Is Here!
Rivertown Revival is not your average music festival. Electric guitars twang in the shade of an old barn, a magician astounds the crowd on a homemade converted truck stage, and traveling preachers testify in song beside the beautiful Petaluma River. Many events around Northern California present great music, but the Rivertown Revival aims to transport artist and audience alike into another world for one perfect summer day. Our 2018 schedule boasts many styles including Country, Latin, Hot Jazz, Vaudeville, Marching Band, and Bluegrass!

You are hereby invited to float in to Rivertown Revival on a slough-worthy vessel and participate in Rivertown Revival’s Nautical Mass!
All manner of shiply vessel can turn a rudder and move down the slough! It will be a diverse parade of artistic expression, and we’d love for you to add your oars!
Please put in at the Turning Basin, or at any other secured public dock along the Petaluma River, then paddle in to join us on the water at Steamer Landing. We'll have a floating Revive Kombucha Bar to slake your thirst, plus entertainment aboard the historic scow schooner Alma which will be anchored nearby. Please note that in order to disembark and join the land lubbers at The Revival, you must return and stow your vessel in the Turning Basin, or other secured dock, and enter the festival on foot at the Copeland and D Streets entrance.
