The Ronceverte River Festival is back up to full speed in 2022. 2021 forced a shortened event and many favorite activities were cut from the program. due to money and time constraints. Organizers are pleased to announce the return of many of our favorite things.
Quantum Party Rentals will be bringing inflatables, and the Kent Family Circus is returning with shows throughout the weekend. The Fishing Derby is back, and signup begins Saturday morning at 7 a.m. Saturday also features the Pet Parade at 10 a.m. Sunday features the return of a Worship Service and Gospel music. At 3 p.m. they present the traditional Children’s Games, and a visit from Darth Vader. All the fun ends with a fantastic fireworks display at 10 p.m. The complete schedule can be found at roncevertewv.org.
Second annual Sensory Friendly Saturday
Sometimes things can get a little overwhelming. Saturday morning is set aside for those who prefer things a little bit quieter at the festival. Our guests for Sensory Friendly Saturday are invited to join us for our schedule or wander the park at their own pace. To be a part of our planned group tour, join us at the garden, “Jardin by the river”, at 10 a.m. to enjoy the beautiful flowers and a few small activities. From there festival goers will proceed to the Pet Parade in progress, then on to the Circus and inflatables. Adults and children are both welcome to join the fun.
Thunder On the River – The Last Ride
2022 will see the final Mud Bog associated with the Ronceverte River Festival. For many years a Sunday Mud Bog has been a tradition during this event, but times and plans force changes. Thanks to the fantastic people at Hillbilly Hollow Motorsports, every year the Thunder On The River has increased in popularity and size, and they have outgrown the Island Park venue. Additionally, Ronceverte will be creating a long awaited Dog Park in the location currently used for the Mud Bog. Organizers want to thank everyone for their support over the years, and hope to see you all one more time on June 12.
