Sunbury River Festival Celebrates Another Successful Year

Last Updated 8/21/2026 • Posted in See & Do, General Announcement, Downtown Life


Sunbury's Revitalization, Inc. (SRI) is grateful for another successful Sunbury River Festival following a weekend filled with vendors, entertainment, family activities, and community support.

This year’s festival welcomed residents and visitors downtown for two days of activities, with the return of the Sunbury River Fest Car Show also bringing a great turnout of vehicles and spectators to Market Street on Saturday.

SRI would like to extend a special thank you to the many vendors, sponsors, volunteers, community partners, performers, car show participants, and attendees who helped make the weekend possible. An event of this size takes months of planning and the support of many people throughout the community.

Proceeds raised through the Sunbury River Festival support Sunbury's Revitalization, Inc. and its continued work to strengthen and revitalize Downtown Sunbury. By attending, participating, sponsoring, or volunteering at River Fest, community members are directly supporting future downtown initiatives, programs, and improvements.

“We are incredibly thankful for everyone who played a part in making River Fest a success" Says Sarah Bower, Downtown Manager for SRI, "Seeing so many people enjoying Sunbury is exactly why we continue to put the work into events like this.”

SRI looks forward to building on another successful River Festival and continuing to create opportunities that bring people together in Downtown Sunbury.
