The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Rivers Project invites you to REC Fest – the largest recreation and safety festival within the Riverbend! Kick off the summer season with your family at the National Great Rivers Museum from 10 AM to 3 PM for this FREE, adventure-themed event (rain-or-shine).

“Our goal with this exciting recreation event is to encourage families to explore their outdoor recreational opportunities and learn how to go about them safely.” says Park Ranger and Event Coordinator Travis Smith. “From archery and hiking to weather and first aid there will be plenty for you and your family to test out and learn.”

With over 25 partnering organizations planning to provide fun, interactive activities you are sure to be exposed to something new – climb the rock wall with Upper Limits Rock Gym & Pro Shop, participate in archery, touch a truck, watch live animal shows, star shows, meet Fredbird, see what it takes to hit a bullseye with the National Park Service, and so much more!
