The second Quequechan River Festival was held on September 24, 2006, in Britland Park along the shores of the River. The day included plenty of heart healthy activities such as kayaking, canoeing, rock wall climbing and sack races. Educational exhibits, food, entertainment, balloon animals, face painting, reptile exhibits, pony rides, and archery rounded out the day's events designed to highlight the river and its recreation potential. The local environmental advocacy group who sponsored the festival along with the City of Fall River, Green Futures, is working to create a greenbelt along the river and to daylight the falls that lead into Mt. Hope Bay. Click here for a link to the Fall River Herald News story about this year's event.
