As most Landfall, NC property owners already know, this event is held annually to benefit the Cape Fear River environment and this year it kicks off with the Meka II Pirate ship (sponsored by WHET) exchanging fire with the Southport Cannon Group at 5PM on Friday, October 2nd. Riverfest continues October 3 and 4 with activities, shows, competitions, a street fair and much, much more happening throughout the weekend. Beginning at 10AM on Saturday you can take your little ones to the Kid Zone (a freebie at The Cotton Exchange), then over to the Adventure Zone (ride Fees), cruise through the Classic Car display (free), or visit the Exhibits and Displays (free). You will have ample opportunity to peruse Arts & Crafts from around the country while keeping hunger at bay with the many food vendors. Anxious for more? You can wander along all evening stopping at the Rail Jam (free), enjoying the Street Dance (free), and watching the fireworks.
