A rubber ducky derby, foodie fests, a youth circus and chalk competitions — how much more can there be?
Renton River Days is coming back July 26-28, and is bigger and better than ever.
This community first festival has been going strong since 1986, and includes music, food, art and entertainment for the whole family.
Last year, over 25,000 people attended the festivities, and it is looking to grow this year.
The sheer number of various festivities, including a parade, a golf tournament, all kinds of food, and even a race of thousands of little rubber ducks, will be sure to have something for everyone.
The festivities kick off Friday night with a live concert by The Kennydales, followed by a drone show by Sky Elements.
