What a Saturday at our annual Smoke On The Water BBQ Cook-Off! 🔥🍖

Before the big festival even begins, this event brings so many people together and sets the tone for what RiverFest is all about … community, hard work, fun, and a whole lot of heart.

Congratulations to all of our winners! The talent, time, and effort that goes into these cook teams is incredible, and we are so thankful for everyone who came out to compete and be part of the tradition.

A huge thank you to the amazing volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes all weekend long. Events like this simply do not happen without people willing to serve, step in, and make things happen.

And a very special thank you to those who host and organize the cook-off year after year. Your dedication, leadership, and countless hours of work help make this one of the most loved RiverFest traditions.

We’re grateful for every team, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who made this year’s cook-off such a success. ❤️🔥

JUST FOR FUN … I repeat, just for fun … 🤪

If you could have any artist perform at Riverfest… who would it be?

Throw your answers in the comments… Realistic and even unrealistic.

And also, share all of your favorite local artists / bands with us as well!

One of the most meaningful moments of our entire weekend … our Mother of the Year presentation 🤍

Each year, family members submit letters nominating their moms - and I’m telling you, there wasn’t a dry eye reading through them. The love, the sacrifice, the strength … it was overwhelming in the best way.

This year, we had an unprecedented number of entries. So many incredible women, so many powerful stories … there was just no way to choose only one.

So for the first time, we made a one-time exception to honor TWO Mothers of the Year 🥹

✨ Donna Lumpkin
✨ Sue Greenway

These women represent the heart of what it means to love selflessly and show up day after day for their families.

To every single mom who was nominated - please know your love is seen, it is felt, and it matters more than words can say.

And to our two honorees … what a beautiful reflection of the impact a mother’s love can have 🤍

Sunday at Riverfest might have been one of the most adorable moments of the whole weekend… our Cutest Baby Contest 🥹🤍

There is just something so special about seeing our community show up, cheering on these little ones and celebrating the joy they bring.

CONGRATULATIONS ::

✨ Baby of the Year: Kamp Guidry

✨ Little Charmer: Kamp Guidry
✨ Cutest Smile: Aurora Leopardi
✨ Prettiest Eyes: Jayleen Cazares

Congratulations to all of our winners - and honestly, to every single baby that participated, because how do you even choose?! 🥰

Thank you to all the families who joined us under the pavilion and made Sunday so full of smiles, laughter, and the sweetest memories.

Already looking forward to next year 💛
