Riverfest draws a big crowd every year and falls on Labor Day weekend. This is the last big boating holiday of the year. We will be working with local and state agencies to promote boating safety during the festival. In addition to the local Coast Guard unit, we will be hosting unit's from Sector Ohio Valley out of Louisville, as well as Marine Safety Unit Paducah, Ky. We will all work together to ensure a safe event for all.
