Three Rivers Festival

From Three Rivers Festival Website:

Join us in CHANNAHON this year as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Three Rivers Festival! A community group of committee members, aided by hundreds of volunteers and supported by staff from the Village of Channahon and Channahon Park District are proud to put on the region's finest family summer festival for you.

All Festival proceeds are re-invested in the Channahon community. Revenues generated support the programming and services of the Channahon Lions Club, Channahon Pony Baseball, Chanooka Braves Youth Football, and Channahon Fire Department. In 2012, these groups each received $12,000 for their organizations. Many groups receive a stipend for their volunteer time to help the Festival run smoothly throughout the week. Additionally, revenues are designated annually for a community support grant program, where area not for profit organizations and local governments can receive funding to re-invest in the community.
