After considering several options the Three Rivers Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors recently selected the theme for this year’s Water Festival. 

“The Wizard of Oz” has been chosen as the theme for this year’s event, with the tag line, “There’s no place like home!” According to Chamber President and CEO Christy Trammell, the theme “really resonated with” board members “as we all feel like our community is a special place.” Board members felt the theme “is familiar to most, which would allow the participants in the parade to come up with some creative entries.”

The event was cancelled for the first time last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s Festival will run from noon on Thursday, June 17, through Saturday evening, June 19. Trammell went on to say, “We hope the community enjoys this year’s theme and comes out to celebrate this year’s Water Festival with us.”

Area residents are encouraged to watch for more details about this annual event as the Festival approaches. Continuing updates are available at the Three Rivers Water Festival Facebook page, as well as at www.trchamber.com.
