2008 Riverfest in Downtown Wilmington - 
Thursday, October 2 - Sunday, October 5
The Old Wilmington Riverfront Celebration, Inc. the organization responsible for the Annual Wilmington Riverfest, has been established as a charitable organization to benefit the Cape Fear River environment. To that end, it is our goal to actively participate with the community to raise capital for reinvestment in the human resources necessary to research and develop river preservation methods and technology. We will strive to promote the Annual Wilmington Riverfest to successfully raise funds for donation to the Cape Fear Community College Marine Sciences Division in the form of the Riverfest Endowment fund. The endowment fund will be used to award scholarships based on academic achievement and desire to benefit the Cape Fear River and surrounding community.
The first Riverfest was October 4, 5, and 6, 1979. Forty workers participated; the budget was $5,500 all in donations. There were four concessions, trolley rides and fireworks. It was a roaring success so we decided we'd do it again next year, and again, and again, on the first weekend each October. 30 years later - 2008: Twenty plus committees, over 300 volunteers, a budget of $80,000, over 160 craft vendors, 25 concessions, entertainment on two stages, fireworks, the Great Waiter's Wine Race, Run The River, exhibits and of course the Kidz Zone.
A fun filled half mile of free family entertainment, still dependent on donations. The economic impact of the festival has been estimated at over three million dollars and attendance that reaches 250,000 each year. As delightful as the festival outcome is, the end result is the awarding of scholarships for marine related studies at Cape Fear Community College with a goal of increasing our donations each year.
