Join Friends of the Petaluma River as we celebrate river conservation at the reimagined 2024 Rivertown Revival After Dark! This year we are doing things a little differently, with the event being held on Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20 from 5 pm to 10 pm.
Rivertown is a HUGE party, and the visual and musical stimulation can feel like chaos to some people. In an effort to offer the best experience for all of our attendees, we will have Sensory Friendly kits filled with several calming items and toys, and an assortment of noise cancelling head phones available at the Medical Tent to use during the event. The medical tent will be located near the Kid’s Play Faire next to the Friends of the Petaluma Booth.
If you you know anyone who skips out on these types of events because they, or their child is easily overwhelmed, please pass this information on to them.
Kits will be available in our med tent.
Presented by Friends of the Petaluma River, Rivertown Revival will enjoy our 11th year of celebrating the Greatest Slough on Earth with you this July 23rd and 24th. We missed you so much over the last couple of years that we decided to host our first ever two day event! Yes, You asked for it and we were listening!
Currently we are busy little river rats getting ready for two exciting days filled with best in local music, art, crafts, food, delicious libations, $5 weddings, games, and all other sorts of Curiodities!
So go dig up your costumes, or find new ones, dust off your dancing boots, tell all your friends and relatives, and buy your tickets today!
Can’t wait to see you all again!
With COVID 19 making public assembly impossible, we have decided that if we cannot come Down to the River to Play, we will bring the celebration to you! Each week starting on Saturday May 23rd we will stream engaging, fun and uplifting performances for you and your kids. With intimate musical performances by our favorite regional singers and bands, profiles of visual artists, a weekly kids' magical town report, a mass vow renewal and more!
Shows will stream on the Rivertown Revival Facebook event page and YouTube.
Rivertown Revival has always been about community. From our local vendors and sponsors, to our volunteer community that help us build the event, to our dedication to local musicians and artists: Petaluma is Rivertown, and Rivertown is Petaluma.
The 10th anniversary of Rivertown Revival takes place on Saturday, July 20th from 11 am - 8 pm in Petaluma benefiting the Friends of the Petaluma River. We are pleased to announce that in an effort to offer the best experience for all of our attendees, we will have sensory friendly kits…
