Mendon Riverfest 2026

Remember when YOU decorated a toy boat for Riverfest?

This little tradition has been part of our hometown for generations and now it’s time for the next generation to carry it on!

Bring the kids, cheer on the boats, and make a new Riverfest memory. Let’s keep the tradition floating! Boats are available at Village Hall for pick up. If you get here and don’t see one, send us a message. 🚤
