The annual 2Rivers Festival helps us to fall in love with our rivers over and over again. Since its beginning in 2012, the 2River Festival has partnered with community organizations to offer free events for you and your family throughout May and June. Enjoy a wide range of activities as you experience the beauty of the Speed and Eramosa river ecosystems and the healing elements of nature. Music, a
rt, recreation, heritage, science and more are on offer as we celebrate our rivers and recognize the value of protecting this much-loved natural landscape. The 2017 2Rivers Festival features 16 events that include a celebration of the 120th anniversary of the Gow Bridge and the 25th anniversary of the Covered Bridge (read Tony Leighton's article in Harrowsmith or watch this video about the construction of this 75 tonne pedestrian bridge in 1992 by the Timber Framers Guild of North America). Join us for these and other events, and remember that our rivers are here for your enjoyment all year long. All 2Rivers Festival events are FREE and open to everyone. To help us get an idea of numbers, we invite you to register. You can also view or download the full 2017 2Rivers Festival Guide. The Festival is a project of the Wellington Water Watchers, a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection, restoration and conservation of source water in Guelph-Wellington.
