Do you tend to swim upstream or go with the flow? Either way, you probably want to check out this weekend’s Rivanna RiverFest, hosted by Rivanna Conservation Alliance and Rivanna River Company. An afternoon of family-friendly activities, games, and educational opportunities shifts into an evening of celebration and jubilance with live performances from Hometown Choir (a children’s choir of students from the YMCA After-School programs at all Charlottesville City Schools) and We Are Star Children (a local nine-piece “adventure pop” group … and not literal children). Food trucks and beverage vendors will be on site, as well as many community partners, to rejoice in the majesty of the Rivanna River.
Saturday 5/18. Free, 2–9pm. Rivanna River Company, 1518 E. High St. rivannariver.org
