River Ramble

Join us for live music, water rides, a petting zoo & much more!

River Ramble

Join us for one of the RCA’s biggest events of the summer... the River Ramble is back and better than ever! As our community gathers for this cherished 50+ year tradition, we’re proud to host this year’s festivities in the spirit of America's 250th Anniversary, marking a historic milestone for our nation.

Come spend the day with friends and neighbors enjoying:

• Fresh oysters, BBQ, and cold drinks 
• A silent and live auction featuring amazing local experiences 
• Live music, local vendors
• Water slides, dunk tank, games with prizes
• Face painting, petting zoo, pony rides, and snow cones

Become A Volunteer!

Did you know the River Ramble is brought to life entirely by volunteers? It's not just members from the RCA, but volunteers from all across our amazing community! From organizing games to baking (or buying!) cakes for the Cake Walk, it’s a true team effort to make this event magical. Want to be part of the fun? Reach out to Info@rowaytoncivic.org
