LULLABY OF THE RIVERS
90% of the world’s population lives within 6 miles of a river.
Lullaby of the Rivers is a nonprofit organization that uses songs, stories, exhibits and activities to raise awareness of rivers and our relationship with them.
Lullaby of the Rivers produces an annual festival. In 2025, the Lullaby of the Rivers Festival included:

The Lullaby of the Rivers Festival is a free community event with live music, a Kid Zone, vendors and food trucks.
