Past Events, 2010:
Rivertown Revival -this first of its kind River Festival on July 24th, 2010 embraced Petaluma's Rivertown history with aquatic art, costumed characters and a wide variety of displays and activities, all presented in a turn of the century carnival atmosphere. Attendees were encouraged to join the fun by dressing in costumes reflecting the old-time "Rivertown" theme. The Revival helped raise funds for Friends of the Petaluma River and the Petaluma Arts Council, and attendance exceeded its organizers' expectations by several thousand. See photos of the event on Flickr.
Tom Sawyer Days - On April 10th & 11th Friends of the Petaluma River hosted “Tom Sawyer Days” at the River Heritage Center, near downtown Petaluma.
