Registration is now open for the 2026 Cromwell Riverport Festival. Guest vendors may be from surrounding areas and will be approved based upon the discretion of Cromwell Community Events Committee (CEC). The Cromwell Riverport Festival will run rain or shine, but may be cancelled in case of extreme weather conditions (i.e. Lightning storms, hurricanes, floods, etc.). You will be notified by Thursday of the week of the festival if the festival is cancelled. Event fees are nonrefundable unless the event is cancelled due to extreme weather.
