The first annual River Fest celebration will take place this Saturday, June 14, at Discovery Village in Shady Side, MD. The event unfolds from noon to 6 p.m. and will celebrate the “roots and tides” of Southern Anne Arundel County.
“We’re reviving the traditional Blessing of the Fleet with local watermen’s workboats parading under an arc of water sprayed from the deck of the county fireboat. We’ll have live music all afternoon with a backdrop of the Chesapeake Bay and fun activities for kids, in and out of the water” says Riverkeeper Jeff Holland. There will be local specialties and drinks served by area churches and 
caterers, as well as arts and crafts for sale. Kids will have the opportunity to learn about the heritage of the area and the ecology of the Bay.
