The Watertown Riverfest Board has announced postponing this year’s Riverfest in Watertown in order to restructure and refresh the grounds.

They are working to design a festival experience for next year.

There are opportunities to volunteer.

Watertown Mayor Robert Stocks told WTKM about a planned carnival.

"They are planning on having the carnival part of the event there. I met with a few business owners and organizations in town. The plan is to do something different that weekend. It sounds like a craft show, having vendors around and live music."                    

Mayor Stocks says at this point, Riverfest will be held next year.

Major factors included infrastructure concerns at Riverside Park.

The four-day festival, usually held in August, will not run this year.  The carnival and rides will still operate during the scheduled dates, of August 6 through the 9.
