River Fest Returns San Angelo After Seven-Year Hiatus

The Minnesota Yacht Club Festival, held at Harriet Island in St. Paul, is set to return for its third annual edition from July 17 to 19, 2026, continuing its three-day format after expanding from two days in its inaugural year. The 2025 festival featured headliners like Green Day, Hozier, and Fall Out Boy, drawing about 35,000 attendees daily, which reached the event's capacity due to site limitations surrounded by water. Organizers plan to maintain this attendance cap despite strong demand and have yet to announce the 2026 lineup or ticket prices, with details expected early next year. Meanwhile, San Angelo, Texas, is reviving its River Fest on September 27, 2025, after a seven-year hiatus, offering family-friendly activities along the Concho River, although live music at the primary stage will be absent due to construction. Additionally, Dallas continues its environmental youth initiative with the Trinity River Crew program in summer 2025, engaging local high school students in conservation work and leadership training along the Trinity River, supported by Bank of America. These events highlight a growing trend of community and cultural festivals paired with educational and environmental programs across different U.S. regions.
