The first Two Rivers Festival will feature 24 events here from June 10 to 17.
The festival celebrates Guelph’s Speed and Eramosa Rivers that converge in the city.
Events begin on Canadian Rivers Day, June 10, celebrating the anniversary. Both rivers were granted Heritage River designation in 1994 along with the Grand River.
Other activities include riverside hikes, a tour of Guelph Lake Dam, music by local musicians, a panel discussion about the future of the river lands, an exploration of the history of the rivers, some juggling, tree identification for kids and more.
The week of events will be topped off with a renewed Speed River clean up on June 16 at 11am followed by a volunteer lunch and celebration at the historic McCrae House.
Programs and more information will be available at The Boathouse on Gordon Street and at selected spots in the city.

Two Rivers Festival runs from June 10 to 17. All are welcome to join in for some serious discussion, good exercise, introspection and fun.
