Wilmington NC Celebrates Riverfest 2008!

An absolutely beautiful October weekend is upon us, and the excitement is in the air as one of the Wilmington NC area's most popular events takesplace this weekend! Get ready for The Annual Riverfest Celebration! This year celebrating it's 30 years of Fun for all ages!

The Riverfest was born of the vision of a group of Wilmingtonians, interested in drawing people to the historical downtown area, decided to feature some artist, provide activities of interest to bring people to the downtown area in an effort to help revitalize business. Over the years the idea blossomed as the downtown area was revitalized and restored...

Riverfest has supported the Cape Fear Community College "Marine Technology Scholarship Program and has donated over close to $100,000.00 in an effort to assist students in various study programs. More than 200,000 attendees enjoy the festivities which bring awareness to the ecological importance of the Cape Fear River.
