Join the excitement at Sunday River's River Fest, a series of fun-filled weekends in Western Maine.

Experience Maine Brew Fest, Flannel Fest, Ruff Mountain, and Fall Fest. Discover craft brews from the Maine Beer Box, show off your favorite flannel, and take in the beauty of autumn. 

Rain or shine, our events are happening, and we're still celebrating River Fest! Join us in the South Ridge lodge or under our large slopeside tent. We've got you covered!
