Lullaby of the Rivers Festival

Presented by Lullaby of the Rivers Festival at North Shores Community Park

The third annual Lullaby of the Rivers Festival takes place on Earth Day weekend, April 21-23, 2023 in Vilano Beach at North Shores Community Park, 120 Meadow Avenue, St. Augustine, FL 32084.

Bob Patterson, a well-known activist and legendary in the Florida music community, has lined up some of the region's most talented musicians to play at the Lullaby of the Rivers Festival featuring music, storytelling, and Open Mics throughout the weekend on the outdoor Rivers Stage and the Springs Stage inside the North Shores Community Center.

Food trucks and vendors are located nearby.

Now in its third year, the festival seeks to awaken and nurture connections to nature by using music and stories as a means to inspire environmental awareness. Headliners include The Currys, one of Florida's all-time favorites who captivate audiences with songwriting, harmonies, and genuine good-natured fun, and Sauce Boss, the legendary Bill Wharton, who will heat it up on Sunday playing swamp-funk slide guitar while cooking gumbo right on the stage.

Earth Day exhibitors offer interactive activities at booths set up around the festival grounds. Participants learn about the environment and connect with nature through live, educational experiences provided by volunteers and nonprofit organizations.

On Sunday, the festival premieres an Earth Day Tasting Tent. Food and beverage vendors provide a taste of their wares and sell products. A “taste” might consist of a cube of cheese, a slice of sausage, a wedge of melon, or an ounce or two of beverage. The Tasting Tent offers locally grown, organic, or sustainably raised products that demonstrate an alignment with Earth Day values.
