Riverton

There are many reasons to visit Riverton throughout the year.

The fun starts in early spring with a treasure hunt of sorts — the town-wide yard sale. Come May, Riverton's Victorian homes go on display, arts and crafts vendors fill its streets, and antique cars rule the road for the Victorian Day Town Center Fair.

Summer features a number of celebrations and special events. Throughout the summer and fall, the Riverton Yacht Club hosts a number of races. The highlight of the racing season is the Governor's Regatta, which is held each June. This event attracts sailors and spectators from around the region.

The Fourth of July offers a full day of festivities. It begins with a fun run and includes a homemade raft race and pet pageant before culminating with a cocktail party at the Yacht Club.

December is one of the best times to visit Riverton. Many of Riverton's beautiful Victorian homes and buildings decorate for the season and open their doors to friends, family, and visitors from all over.

While each season presents special celebrations, Riverton is home to many year-round attractions. The Historical Society of Riverton includes a diverse collection of artifacts that document and preserve Riverton's past. Another favorite is the Thomas Margaret Gallery where regional artists often exhibit their work. Just outside of Riverton is Palmyra Cove, which features more than 250 acres of preserved wetlands and hosts a number of educational events throughout the year.
