- **Event Description**: Join us as Richmond RiverFest 2026 launches in Ballina celebrating World Rivers Day Sunday 27 September,

Richmond RiverFest is a month-long community celebration of the rivers, cultures and communities of the Northern Rivers. 

Presented by Richmond Riverkeeper, the festival brings together Custodians, community groups, conservation organisations, artists and educators to honour our river systems through storytelling, food, music, family friendly activities and a shared commitment to protection and restoration.

Along the way with our numerous festival partners, Riverfest offers opportunities to connect, learn, and explore how cultural knowledge, science, and community action can come together to heal the Richmond River.

With a focus on listening to the voices of the river and empowering community-led restoration, Riverfest is a powerful reminder that when people gather in celebration and purpose, real change can flow.

The lands and waterways of the Richmond Catchment and beyond, are the unceded territories of the peoples of the Bundjalung Nation. We pay our respects to their Ancestors, who cared for Country since time began, and to all Custodians, who continue to speak and care for their Country and Water.
