Waltham Riverfest Walk

Celebrate and learn about the mighty Charles at the annual Waltham Riverfest with a casual stroll heading upstream from Moody Street on the paved pathway. Hear how an unsightly industrial area became the beautiful Upper Charles River Reservation and about famous residents of the Mt. Feake cemetery. We’ll discuss the popular canoeing and entertainment venues along the river and contributions the Waltham Watch Factory made to the American Industrial Revolution and the Waltham community. If time allows, we'll head into Woerd Woods where WLT stewards have planted hundreds of native trees, shrubs, ferns, and flowers. 

All day long, festival attendees can soak up live music on multiple stages, buy crafts from vendors, rent watercraft for a discount, and visit outreach tables of local non-profits like the WLT between 11 am - 4 pm on a closed-to-traffic Moody Street Bridge.
