Anniversary!!

In 2013 Wilmington Celebrated Riverfest's 35th anniversary.

Riverfest board member Ann Kirby was excited about being part of the 35th anniversary. She has attended all 34 festivals and says “they seem to get better every year.”

History of Riverfest in Wilmington, NC

So what's the point?

Riverfest celebrates Wilmington's appreciation of the Cape Fear River. It's because of the river that Wilmington became a city in 1739 when it was used as a passage to the interior of North Carolina.

The Beginning...

  • The first Riverfest was celebrated downtown in the city of Wilmington in 1979.
  • At the first festival there were only four vendors, fireworks and trolley rides

Everything has a Purpose...

The original purpose of the Riverfest downtown was to breathe life back into a part of town that had gone downhill in recent years. It celebrates life and culture in a place that had once been the heart and soul of the town.
