Enjoy this day at our beautifully restored Veterans Park and Napa River Trail. With the completion of the Riverfront project, the Festival is expanding south of the Third Street Bridge. What a change from what it was in 1997! bit precarious. Since then, the musicians have played on a stage on the Third Street Bridge. Today, we are celebrating the 17th River Festival (no festivals in 2001, 2006 and 2007 because of construction activities for Napa’s Flood Control project) – all conducted by the Maestro! This will be his final festival as Music Director of the Napa Valley Symphony. In light of this, please join us in honoring Asher Raboy for his contributions to the River Festival and to the Napa Valley community. We are collaborating with the Napa Valley Arts Council to bring local art to the festival. Make sure you visit the Arts Council’s kids’ art and the Target activity areas. Enjoy the program and the magnificent fireworks bursting “in-air” above the Napa River! We thank our partners and generous sponsors!
