Family Event Details

We hope everyone will be able to join us on Saturday afternoon to enjoy the music, art, food and friends at the River Festival. Unfortunately, the park shelters across the river in Kenwood had already been reserved, so we've decided to make our official meeting place near the Oakdale fountain in the botanical gardens. This area is relatively close to the children's activities and food vendors, has lots of shade, and shouldn't be heavily populated with festival goers. While we couldn't reserve it officially, the organizers do know that we're coming and approved of the location. The map below has the exact area highlighted, so please make a note of this area or print it out (click on the map for a larger image) so you can find everyone! We'll try to have balloons or a banner to make us easier to spot.


We're planning to be at the festival from noon to 5 on Saturday, and the admission buttons are $10 if purchased in advance. Unfortunately, there's no place to buy them online, so you'll have to make a stop at Dillons before heading over to the festival. You can also buy them at the gate for $15, or for just $12 if you take this coupon with you. Thankfully, children 11 and under get in free!

Remember to bring your blankets, bag chairs, footballs and frisbees for a relaxing time with our families!
