Riverfest is sponsored by Catskill Regional Medical Center

RiverFest, the Upper Delaware River region’s most popular summer festival, is celebrating its 22^nd annual event with local music, original art, and information about the ecosystem. It all happens Sunday, July 22, 2012 on Main Street in Narrowsburg, NY. The festivities begin a 9:45 a.m.

Presented by Delaware Valley Arts Alliance and sponsored by Catskill Regional Medical Center, Riverfest is a family-friendly street fair where residents and visitors can talk with artists and artisans, enjoy the River Dogs on Parade, sample an array of street foods, celebrate the ecology of the pristine Delaware River, and encourage children to create art at Kids Korner. You can even get your blood pressure checked.

The centerpiece of the event is a live auction of 60 original works of art created on Riverfest posterboards. At 12:30 p.m., auctioneer Jerry Malek will auction off the posters, which are created by local artists. (Last year's posters are available for preview here.) This year's posters will be uploaded to the website as they come in from the artists, starting in early July.
Over three dozen artist and artisan booths line Main Street. You’ll be able to meet and buy from potters; jewelers; woodworkers; textile, glass, and stone artists; a broom maker; a chain saw sculptor; painters; and photographers.

The whole event kicks off at 9:45 a.m. with the River Dogs on Parade. Pooches and their owners parade from the former Narrowsburg Central School on Erie Street in Narrowsburg to the Main Street Bandstand.
