RiverLink hosts RiverFest and the Anything That Floats Parade as a way to celebrate all the good work that's been done on the river. Part of our mission is to continue that work by conserving crucial riverfront properties. These properties might be beautiful open spaces that we agree to keep that way forever. They might also be old landfills or industrial sites that we work to transform into parks and greenways. We believe that land along waterways is precious and should support healthy interactions between humans and nature. If you'd like to learn more about our conservation properties and projects you can visit riverlink.org

We love that we're able to offer these events to the community for free. This would not be possible without the support of our amazing sponsors. RiverFest this year is sponsored by New Belgium Brewing, 98.1 The River, Prestige Subaru, and FASTSIGNS of Asheville. All of these businesses are incredibly supportive of the river and our environment, and we love having them as part of our community!

Part of our mission here at RiverLink is to help people experience the river in new and meaningful ways. RiverFest and the Anything That Floats Parade are certainly part of this. However, we also work to create parks and greenways along the river for people to enjoy with their friends and families. We host summer camps where we explore the watershed with kids and play in the river, and we lead bus tours that help our community connect with the history of the French Broad. If you'd like to learn more about how we help people experience the river you can visit www.riverlink.org.

As we ramp up for this summers events we'd like to thank our generous sponsors for the Anything That Floats Parade. Justin Mitchell, Realtor, Black Orthodontics, and French Broad Outfitters have been great supporters this year, and this event would not be possible without their help. We can't wait to see our incredible community get out on the river!

RiverMusic began 9 years ago as a way to draw people to the banks of the French Broad River to foster that connection of the community to the watershed. Today we are encouraged to see the transformation that is taking shape along the Asheville riverfront. We are very fortunate to have so many businesses open their doors right on the river because they have a genuine interest in the health and well-being of this wonderful resource!

Beginning summer of 2019 RiverLink will no longer be hosting RiverMusic, instead we will focus on RiverFest and the Anything That Floats Parade, both taking place on Saturday, July 20th at New Belgium Brewing. As our organization grows, we have prioritized putting our staff capacity directly into our programs.

RiverFest and the Anything That Floats parade remain a fundraiser for RiverLink, and 100% of the proceeds from the event go directly back into our programs that serve our local community. By supporting RiverLink you are directly supporting our critical work in this place we all love to call home. RiverFest is free and open to the public with a suggested donation at the event
