Welcome...to a unique festival for a river worth celebrating!
The Kennebec Celebration festival seeks to bring people together in an educational and entertaining atmosphere to recognize the beauty of Maine’s Kennebec River.  The event highlights the important role the river plays in Maine’s history, cultural heritage, anadromous fish migration and the fishing industry, as a source of food and habitat for birds of prey and wildlife, and to the enhanced quality of life it brings to local communities and to people that simply come to enjoy it for the day.
The ecological recovery of the Kennebec River is a remarkable story about a once vibrant river that nearly died due to pollution and poor conservation practices. However, due to the diligent effort of many who sought to restore the river, and are still striving today to preserve this beautiful resource, the mighty Kennebec is thriving and flourishing once again.
So come join us at the festival and all that it has to offer...but most of all, enjoy a day by the river!
