Let’s gather together at the river
Riverfest is our annual celebration of the Big Sioux River, bringing together live music, food and beverage vendors, family-friendly activities, and opportunities to connect with one of Sioux Falls’ greatest natural resources. Set along the Big Sioux River Greenway and Cherapa Place, Riverfest blends entertainment, community, and environmental stewardship into an experience that can be enjoyed by all ages.
More than just a festival, Riverfest is an opportunity to celebrate the river that runs through our city while learning about the importance of conservation, sustainability, and protecting local wildlife and water quality. Through interactive activities, educational experiences, and community partnerships, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the Big Sioux River and its role in our community.
