River Fest is Skowhegan's annual multi-day celebration of recreation and life on the Kennebec.
The event also illustrates the potential of the Kennebec River Gorge as the future home of the Run of River Whitewater Recreation Area. Run of River will include a whitewater park with wave features for paddling, surfing, tubing, and more; an estimated 50 miles of four-season trails; a riverfront promenade; and pristine fishing waters with improved fish habitat.
