The Shoalhaven River Festival is being revived after a two year absence because of the Covid 19 pandemic .

The Shoalhaven River Festival is a two day community event celebrating life in the scenic Shoalhaven region.

The festival is free weekend event held in late October each year and unites the community and visitors and features an action packed weekend of family friendly festivities.

The 2022 Shoalhaven River Festival was officially launched at the Nowra Golf Club overnight.

The festival showcases community groups and local businesses.

The southern banks of the beautiful Shoalhaven River come alive with entertainment, market stalls, water activities, kids amusements, a marina expo, the arts precinct and an exciting fireworks display.

Festival Chair David Fleeting said the committee wants community input on potential new activities to help bring the festival back - bigger and better.

He said, "We would love to hear from you to be involved in this years festival.

"Growers, makers, milkers, please get in touch if you would like to be part of this amazing local event" Mr Fleeting said.
