ABOUT

For four decades, Renton River Days has brought residents, families, businesses, and visitors together to celebrate the spirit, character, and pride of Renton. Built on local collaboration and a legacy of community celebration, this vibrant festival welcomes thousands each summer along the banks of the Cedar River.

In 2025, more than 25,000 people joined the festivities, and the 40th Anniversary Festival in 2026 promises to be the biggest yet.

The celebration begins at Liberty Park, one of Renton’s oldest and most recognized parks and the historic heart of Renton River Days.

Best of all, it’s all FREE.

The festival unfolds across a connected campus including Cedar River Park, Liberty Park, and the Renton Community Center, all linked by the Houser Way corridor.

NEW for 2026: Enjoy River Nights at Legacy Square, an exciting evening experience bringing music, energy, and community together in downtown Renton.

Join us July 24–26, 2026 and be part of the celebration.
