Celebrating art and nature in the Housatonic River Valley

Events will be / are scheduled continuously from June 18 through September 18, 2006, and will take place at many different (occasionally concurrent) locations in the watershed area.

Many of the events are scheduled annual happenings, while other events have been created especially for the River Summer Fest. The events range in size and scope, with successful participation ranging from a dozen attendees up to hundreds of attendees. Included are arts related, cultural, nature related and commercial events.
