At Riverfest, of course! The 18th annual celebration of art, music, and ecology, Riverfest kicks off festival Sunday, July 27 at 10 a.m. on Main Street in Narrowsburg, NY. The festivities continue through 5 p.m., rain or shine. Riverfest is a day to meet artists, hear live music, chat with environmentalists, and bid on any of 60 one-of-a-kind posters created by local artists. The poster auction, starting at 12 p.m., benefits the Alliance Gallery annual exhibition program. Click the flashing link above to see the 2008 posters available. New designs will be added weekly until July 26. “Riverfest is a participatory event,” says DVAA Executive Director Elaine Giguere. “There are those who enter their dogs in the parade; kids who make art at Kids Korner; those who come to learn about fly tying or gardening; those who bid on posters; and of course, those who love shopping for unique arts and crafts.” The first 200 attendees to visit the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance’s welcoming booth will receive a re-usable cotton tote containing RiverBucks, a coupon book good for discounts on goods and services throughout town, and other goodies.
