June 10-12, 2011
at Soldotna Creek Park
in downtown Soldotna, Alaska
Let's Celebrate! This year bring us the 21st Kenai River Festival!
The Kenai River Festival grew out of our desire to provide a free, fun setting for the community to learn more about the river, how we impact it by our activities, and what we can do to keep it healthy and productive for generations to come. Each year at the festival, information about our rivers and other unique local natural resources are shared through a wide variety of hands-on learning activities for youth. 2010's 20th Anniversary event was fantastic with an estimated 10,000 people in attendance!
The Kenai River Festival is a FREE event open to all! This event is supported entirely through the generosity of local businesses and organizations. We invite you to explore the links below and learn more about this FUN & INSPIRATIONAL event.
