Thousands of people each year turn out to celebrate the many wonderful things the river has to offer as well as volunteer to help clean up and restore the river to make it a destination to enjoy for generations to come.
The festival will run from 3 until 7 PM at the International Peace Gardens. At 6:30 PM the main event, the Ducky Derby Dash, will be happening in the river. Check out the details on Facebook!
Riverfest is a family-friendly event with lots of fun activities! Here’s a selection of activities:
- Live Entertainment– Come watch a dance performance from Westside Dance, live music from Mama Longlegs, and a hypnotist show from Hypnotist Hick.
- SLC Bicycle Collective – Hop on a bike and take a ride down the Jordan River – if it’s a great fit, take it home after Adoption Papers are signed!
- National Ability Center – Canoe in the river and paddleboard.
- Beer Garden – Enjoy live music within the boundaries of a beer garden, provided by Fisher Mansion!
- Storytime – Join Salt Lake City Public Library for a Storytime in the park!

- Utah Corn Roasters – Have a delicious ear of roasted corn on us!*
- The Salt Lake City Water Quality and Jordan River Commission will be there to answer your questions about what goes in the Jordan River– with fun and engaging activities for kids and adults.
And don’t forget the ever so popular Ducky Derby Dash– a race with, you guessed it, rubber duckies. The first ducky across the finish line wins a round-trip airline ticket from Delta Airlines!
*Utah Corn Roasters will be providing free roasted corn for the first 400 people, so make sure you are one of them!
See you on the river!
