Riverfest Elora credits its success over the years to the ongoing contributions from its artistic partnerships, and the unwavering support of Elora’s small but mighty local community. “We are incredibly grateful to the community of Elora & Centre Wellington as a whole for continuing to support us with their enthusiasm, encouragement and their time! Our team of over 500 mostly local volunteers runs one of the best events in the country. With their efforts, we get to welcome area residents and people from across Canada to a truly magical experience each and every year!” Says Spencer Shewen, Festival & Artistic Director.
