3rd Annual Riverfest 2007 - Let’s Go Green!
Posted by Cleo
Frenchtown, NJ’s quintessential Victorian river town is small, preserved, and historic, while also chic and alive. This year’s RiverFest, celebrating the environment, river history, land preservation, animal protection, and the arts will be Labor Day weekend ( 3 days!), Sept. 1-3, 2007. There will be not-for-profit organizations sharing their vision and mission, juried vendors selling great crafts, a center stage with performances ranging from river gospel to reggae.
This year for the first time we are also recruiting for-profit businesses that are engaged in environmental product development (“green” products) to exhibit their newest innovations. Throughout town there will be in-store events and showcases of “green” merchandise. And our restaurants will be serving great food (and not only fish!).
Oh yes, being Frenchtown, we will also be celebrating the 250th anniversary of the birth of America’s favorite Frenchman: the Marquis de Lafayette (Sept. 6, 1757)!
We hope to locate the 1961 film “La Fayette” to show during our Fourth Annual Film Festival, featuring award winning independent films that weekend. Bon anniversaire, La Fayette!
