Riverside Festival Launches Their Third Year Of Festivities On The Ottawa River
Riverside Festival moves into its third season, as a massive crowd gathers in Gatineau on July 25th.
Riverside Festival is an annual event that hosts live music, sporting activities, and an impressive art show. The one day party is a perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon on a hot summer afternoon.
Located at the National museum of History, the festivities take place right beside the river with a grand view of the Parliament Building.
The two main promoters behind Riverside Festival are Powerhouse and DNA Presents. DNA Presents is also responsible for hosting Escapade Music Festival every year, while Powerhouse runs Halloween parties every year.
Last year’s edition of Riverside Festival reached a total audience of over 2,500 attendees. Headliners like 3LAU, Henry Fong and Starkillers all played hour sets. The promoters are aiming to build to a stronger lineup for this summer.
This year there is a bigger intent on behalf of the organizers to make the day include more athletic activities. Nothing serious can be disclosed as of now, but there is some major planning taking place.
The festival also boasts an impressive display of visuals from the VJ known as Video Girl, who has worked with everyone from Igloofest to Vegas.
Riverside Festival originally started in 2013 because there was nothing catering to this specific scene in the Gatineau area beforehand.
Now the festival is appealing to a smaller market that has risen significantly in the past five years because of an interest in outdoor parties and electronic music.
Essentially what you can expect is quality music and some sort of sporting element. So get ready to get wet and get wild at Riverside Festival.
Ticket information and the official lineup will be released in weeks to come. Early bird tickets go on sale this Thursday at noon on the official website for Riverside Festival.
