What's next on our schedule?

Rivahfest!
June 21, 2008
10 AM - 5 PM
Tappahannock, VA


Rivafest is a tradition here in Central Virginia that many families whether they live here or have moved out of the area flock to attend each and every year. It is sponsored by the Tappahannock-Essex County Chamber of Commerce. It's a fun community festival that is held in downtown Tappahannock Prince Street. The ever popular Fireman's Parade will open RivahFest on Friday evening at 7 p.m. with a judged parade through downtown, starting on Water Lane and turning on Prince Street. The Miss Flame contest open to young ladies from Essex and the surrounding counties will be staged at St. Margaret's Stage 2 on Saturday morning at 11 a.m.

Back by popular demand this year are a huge Arts, Crafts and Antiques section, Children’s Activities area, an expanded Farmer’s Market and the “Treasures of Tappahannock” historic walking tour. Two Entertainment Stages will feature a wide variety of performers, headlined by the legendary musical style of Steve Bassett, Ammon Tharpe with the Mystic Soul Bubbas and supported by one of Richmond, Virginia's favorite hometown hitters Janet Martin Band.

We'll be there bright and early. Look for our cheerful faces and great smelling soaps in the Farmer's Market area!
