An exuberant celebration of the arts, Cambridge Arts River Festival

The Cambridge River Arts Festival first began in 1974 when a group of artists charged themselves with the development of an annual event that would showcase and celebrate the rich artistic traditions and activity that make Cambridge such a unique and exciting place. Each year this event is held to support local artists and engage audiences with a dazzling array of visual and performing arts.

The festival showcased the talents of various live acts performing in a range of styles and genres including dance, music, live art demonstrations, and theatre.
