Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce(LCCC) - The RiverDaze Labor Day Festival will celebrate its 10th Anniversary on August 30-31. The festival features live entertainment, an arts and crafts show, food vendors and family-friendly activities.

  “Coming to the show has become a Labor Day tradition for both locals and visitors. It’s great to see the talented artists that come from the Northwest,” said Event Manager Jaye Payne.

The festival’s uniqueness comes from its emphasis on local and regional artists. Vendors are required to have created 75% of artwork available for purchase. No commercial items are sold. This year’s artists include paintings by Diane Paton-Peel, watercolors by Ned Fox and wood crafts by Dan Donley.

  This two-day event also features a strong lineup of performing artists. On Saturday, Romagossa Blú will headline the entertainment schedule with the band’s unique blend of original and cover music inspired by rock, Latin, reggae and blues (5-8pm).  On Sunday, The Ben Rice Band will kick off the entertainment lineup. The band currently has three CD's of original music and is best known for its energetic stage presence and explosive music (1-3pm).

  Food vendors, inflatables and a train ride with Dr. Wayne will be available throughout the festival. On Saturday, a beverage garden will be available to attendees.
