STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) — After being canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Riverfront Rendezvous is returning to Stevens Point.
Mayor Mike Wiza says he’s calling this year’s event a celebration of not only the birth of the United States but independence from COVID-19 as well.
“We’ll have some fabulous entertainment. It’s a family event so we have all sorts of things for the kids. A lumberjack show, emergency services vehicle display, live music, food, and drinks.”
While there are no requirements for masks or social distancing Wiza says anyone who wants to take precautions is welcome to. “We want you to feel comfortable so we have expanded the grounds and we will have food vendors on the west side of the river as well. But we are spreading out, and if you feel the need to [wear a mask,] then do that. But, if you’re fully vaccinated and your comfort level is a little higher, then feel free to mingle and smile.”
Wiza also notes that with the anticipated crowds those who are attending should make a parking plan. There will be limited parking near Pffiner Pioneer Park with additional parking throughout downtown.
Headlining acts for the weekend include Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, the Prince tribute band Purple Veins, and Gangster Grass. Sunday night’s performance leads into the fireworks display at dusk, which will see the display launch from the Wisconsin River to allow for a larger viewing area and larger mortars as well.
