About Lullaby of the Rivers Festival
This annual festival is all about celebrating Florida’s natural resources. The event focuses on environmental consciousness to preserve, protect and educate everyone about the fragility of our water resources! It’s a full day of music, storytelling, exhibitors, vendors, demonstrations, food & beverages.
2026 finds a new locale … the Limelight Theatre. On the outdoor stage, you’ll hear a diverse lineup of live music ranging from folk to Americana to blues and gospel from performers who are in alignment with environmental causes. And, for their ability to blend stories with their music. If you have the opportunity, be sure to catch Bob Patterson when he performs …. especially when he sings “Lullaby of the Rivers”.
There is also a River Expo featuring NE Florida Sierra Club, Bee Augustine and other exhibitors. They’ll join Lullaby of the Rivers in teaching people about the environment, especially Florida’s rivers.
Be sure to check out the specially selected vendors offering an array of nature-inspired wares and providing favorite festival foods and beverages. And, at the Kids Zone, kids (and adults) will make River Sticks … walking sticks out of bamboo – along with masterpieces using paints and markers.
It’s a great, educational family-friendly event getting you outdoors and connected to Mother Earth.
The Mission of ……
the Lullaby of the Rivers Festival is to awaken and nurture connections to nature in gatherings of all ages, with music and stories that inspire environmental awareness and consciousness through performances, workshops, interactive exhibitions, and partnership programs.
Bob Patterson’s award-winning song, Lullaby of the Rivers, is the inspiration for the festival. Passionate all his life about protecting the environment – especially Florida’s waterways, Bob believes we need to teach our children about the environment. If they don’t know about it, they won’t protect or fight for it!
