About

The River Festival started 46 years ago and people of all ages in Maidstone have great affection for what was the county town’s biggest annual event.

We’ll have dressed up boats, raft races, fun and games for all the family.  There will be illuminated boats in the evening and it will all end with a big bang as an award-winning fireworks display will go off from the top of Fremlin Walk in the town centre.

We would also like to give a special thanks to the Maidstone River Festival committee members, who without all their hard work the festival would not be possible.

Chairman: David Naghi, Secretary: Angela Vincent, Michael Whitcombe, Marcus Niblett, Clairey Suzanne, Sammy Suzanne, Mo McNamara, carol Vizzard and Kevin Arrowsmith.
