Still smiling from all the wonderful moments captured at the 17th Annual Yahara Riverfest! 🌊💛🎶✨

We loved seeing Conservancy Commons Park filled with families, friends, neighbors, and so many first-time visitors who came out to explore, enjoy the activities, and spend the day with us.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the 2026 Yahara Riverfest such a memorable celebration of our community and the Upper Yahara River. 💛

🎥 Relive some of the special moments from the day, and we’ll see you next year! 🌿🦆💦

Grateful to all the businesses and organizations for their partnership and support — thank you for investing in our community and helping us celebrate the Upper Yahara River! 🌊💛
