Wenatchee River Festival, June 9-10
The Wenatchee River Festival is held in Riverside Park each year the 2nd weekend of June. There will be opportunities for people to get their watercraft on the river whether it is a kayak, raft, stand-up paddle board, or boogie board with events such as downriver races, freestyle events, and clinics. Events include family-friendly activities such as a kid’s zone and Dutch oven cook-off, raffle and auction where proceeds will go to support the conservation efforts of American Whitewater. The Wenatchee River Festival reaches out to the public with the goals of increasing awareness of river conservation, access and safety issues in the Pacific Northwest.

Wenatchee Naturalist Program, Feb 1 - April 18
The Wenatchee River Institute, formerly Barn Beach Reserve, is proud to announce this new program to be held in the Wenatchee. The course will feature the Wenatchee River watershed’s diversity of life, with a focus on the shrub-steppe, low-elevation forest, and riparian eco-regions. You will join other motivated and interesting adults who want to learn together about our local native plants and animals, habitats, and current natural resource issues. The aim of the Wenatchee Naturalist program is to cultivate and launch a corps of well-informed citizens who will actively volunteer for stewardship and conservation education projects within our community.
