The annual festival, usually held in early June, began in the early 1970s. Cambridge Arts has adapted the event for the covid pandemic in recent years, with virtual Stream Festivals in 2020 and 2021 and the Ripple Festival in 2022, a series of smaller in-person performances and arts markets rippling out into Cambridge neighborhoods in the spirit of the River Festival. During 2023 the River Festival was not held, as the pandemic continued to provide challenges for the long-term planning and fund-raising required to produce the showcase of food, arts, crafts, immersive art experiences and multiple stages of live music, dance, poetry and theater. The 2024 festival offered six stages of music, theater, dance and poetry; the Mermaid Promenade; interactive art-making; buskers; international foods; and an arts and crafts market.
