ALL 2022 EVENTS CANCELED.
It is with a very heavy heart that we have to announce that due to extreme drought conditions, low water levels in our river/reservoir, and record heat, our Mayor Pro Tem and our Director of Water & Wastewater Ops have canceled our jet ski races and, following that, our committee has voted to cancel all other events, as the races & the river truly are the cornerstone of the event.
If you were a racer looking forward to this event Nautiwater Racing
and the Jettribe Mid America WaterX Championship, by Nautiwater Racing pages will have updates on the race that will replace this race in their schedule.
If you were a vendor, our Vendor Coordinator will be reaching out to you on Monday to get your money refunded - and we apologize for the inconvenience.
If you are a local, we're still planning to have fireworks on the 4th, and we'll just have to pray for a wetter Spring in 2023 and hope we can regroup and try again next year.
Of course, this has been a blow to all of us who have worked so hard all these months organizing and planning this event, to all the racers who travel from far and wide to enjoy our beautiful town, and to all the local businesses who expected the significant turnout that this event generates.
Sadly, we have no control over the weather, and this is the hand we've been dealt this year. We appreciate EVERYONE who took part in the planning of Rock'n Riverfest 2022 - we just hope we can give this another try in 2023 under better conditions.
