St. Croix RiverFest

Friday, Jul 25, 2025 at 10:00am

Various Venues in Hudson

Join us for Hudson's annual RiverFest celebration with a range of activities designed to encourage people of all ages to enjoy the Lower St. Croix River and all that it provides. Several local organizations and individuals have collaborated to make "RiverFest - A Party with a Purpose" a success.  The five-day event celebrates the river while also recognizing the need to preserve its health and beauty.

Schedule of Events:

10:00 am - 12:00 pm: Let's Go Paddling!

In honor of RiverFest week, join our naturalists on a scenic kayaking trip up to the beautiful Willow Falls, before peacefully floating back down the Willow River. This is a great activity to enjoy individually, with a friend, or as a family! Children ages 10 and up, with a parent/guardian and capable of operating their own kayak are welcome to join! Please dress for the weather and bring along a lifejacket (or wear one of ours) waterproof shoes, drinking water, sunscreen and bug spray.
