Cambridge Arts River Festival is the much-anticipated, free, outdoor celebration of the arts. Building on a backdrop of success since 1978, the Cambridge Arts River Festival has become a venerated Cambridge institution that highlights the city’s diverse cultural heritage and the dynamic community of artists and arts organizations that call Cambridge home.

With venues dedicated to live music, dance, poetry, visual arts, and theater, audience members enjoy a host of family oriented art-making activities, artist-led demonstrations, innovative public artworks and an array of specialty and international foods. The festival truly offers something for everyone!
