Greetings Community Members and Guests,

Welcome to the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce’s 40th Rivertown Days celebration!

For four decades the Hastings Chamber has had hundreds of volunteers pour countless hours into orchestrating our community’s largest annual celebration, ensuring each year offers something new and exciting for you and your family.

Rivertown Days features live music on the river, carnival rides, arts & crafts, fireworks, a parade and more. It also provides an important boost to our local economy and fosters community pride. If you are visiting Hastings for the first time – WELCOME! We hope you take the time to enjoy all our community has to offer.

On behalf of all of our great chamber members and volunteers, thank you for being a part of this year’s celebration. I wish you a happy and safe Rivertown Days!

All the Best,

Kristy Barse President, Hastings Chamber of Commerce

Rivertown Days is made possible by the dedication and hard work of community volunteers! We would like to give a special
