The Lullaby of the Rivers Festival features outstanding live music on the outdoor Rivers Stage throughout the weekend. A second stage in the Community Center offers music, stories and an Open Mic, with tables where people can eat while enjoying performances. Food trucks and vendors are located nearby.

Earth Day exhibitors offer interactive activities at booths set up around the festival grounds. Participants learn about the environment and connect with nature through live, educational experiences provided by volunteers and nonprofit organizations.
