Lullaby of the Rivers presents The River Expo, a celebration of Florida rivers

Some of the finest performers in the region will be there, including Flagship Romance, the Duffy Bishop Band, the Carpetbaggers, and our own Bob Patterson. There will most definitely be dancing.

Our goal is to get people out experiencing Florida’s rivers and springs, and the prizes offered at the The River Expo raffle may do just that. Raffle prizes include tickets to river adventures, discounts at river lodges and campgrounds, boating equipment and more. Winners will be chosen between acts. When you’re not dancing or buying raffle tickets, the AMP is selling alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and food will be available from food trucks in the parking lot.
The River Expo also introduces THE GREAT LULLABY OF THE RIVERS EXPEDITION. Bob Patterson’s stories are familiar to folks throughout Florida. This is an opportunity to see where they take place. On the Expedition, Bob will guide fellow travelers down the Ocklawaha River to the sites of some of his most famous stories. Seats will be for sale at the event.

Proceeds from The River Expo benefit Lullaby of the Rivers’ Raising Water Protectors program. Curricula from this program can be used in any school to teach children about rivers. If you would like to support this program, please consider donating with a check or using the SPONSOR link below.
