The Westport River Watershed Alliance is gearing up for two major summer events: River Day 2026 on June 20 and the Summer Concert Series opener July 11.

 

River Day, an annual festival celebrating the Westport River and environmental stewardship, will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 20 at the Head of Westport Town Landing, 493 Old County Road. If it rains, the event will be held the next day, according to a community announcement.

 

The festival, which has been held since 1984, features a variety of activities and performances suitable for all ages.

 

Highlights include live music and cultural performances by the Eastern Medicine Singers, a parade with watershed animal puppets, hands-on children's activities, face painting and classic games.

 

The River Center will have exhibits focused on sustainability and river ecology.

 

Parking and shuttle service will be available from Westport High School, 400 Old County Road.
