WXRV 92.5 / Boston Presents 21st Riverfest at Salisbury Beach with headlining set from Ripe

Ripe is set to headline Boston’s 21st annual Riverfest at Salisbury Beach, August 26th from 12n to 6p (ET), along with Ryan Montbleau Band, Air Traffic Controller and Steve Rondo!

Over 30 local, regional and national sponsors will be exhibiting and sampling. All business, restaurants and arcades on the Broadway Boardwalk at Salisbury Beach will be open.

WXRV GM Donald St. Sauver commented, “Riverfest at Salisbury Beach is a true showcase of homegrown talent with all the bands having local roots. Holding the festival here provides us with an opportunity to present this free music festival in a popular and truly premier waterfront location. And with the historic carousel that’s been beautifully restored and many other initiatives like the oceanfront boardwalk, welcome center and  restrooms, I think many attendees will be impressed with the Salisbury Beach beautification program.”

In the seven years since it formed at Berkeley College of Music, pop/funk band Ripe has risen to national recognition. Their new sophomore album, "Bright Blues," is experiencing radio airplay, with the new single “Settling” hitting the Top 15 at Triple A and Top 25 at Alternative, with over 16K+ radio spins garnering 15+million impressions and being featured as ALT NATION’s critical cut artist. 

This free concert will take place rain or shine. For more information and updates, visit https://theriverboston.com/.
