River Excursions

Come join the fun of our River Excursions. This is an educational and sightseeing event. We provide a free ride for all attendees of the festival. You can experience a 20-25 minute pontoon boat ride through our city’s famous rivers, with a docent on board giving you a tour guide approach to the river system, the history of the area, and prominent points of interest along the river. Come join the river fun!
