We are GOING GREEN!
If you plan on purchasing drinks from our beverage vendor at the festival, you will need to bring your own cup or buy one from us! We will be selling reusable stainless pint glasses. We also have Culligan water stations set up, use your reusable cup to hydrate! We are doing what we can to create less waste and we feel this is a good place to start. No red solo cups at this fest!

In 2006, this two day festival at Ashley Park in Jackson attracted thousands as part of Jackson's Sesquicentennial Celebration. After a year hiatus, 2008 brought the Rhythm back! The community called for it, so bands from up and down the river gathered together. We celebrate our cultural heritage, and welcome everyone to celebrate the beauty of the City of Jackson and our little bend in the Des Moines River. As with anything being nurtured, each year Rhythm of the Rivers grows bigger, better and stronger.
