Lullaby of the Rivers Festival

Lullaby of the Rivers celebrates our rivers with a music festival on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre.

Local singer/songwriter Bob Patterson, and organizer/activist Carol Kramer, have used Bob's award-winning song "Lullaby of the Rivers" to create a festival featuring regional musicians, storytellers, and environmental organizations.

"Lullaby of the Rivers" is a tribute to Florida's rivers and their heritage. In his folksy storytelling style, Patterson invites listeners to embrace the Native American tradition of environmental responsibility by remembering that Florida's great rivers — including the Apalachicola, Ichetucknee, Ocklawaha, and Kissimmee — by the names the native people gave them.

In addition to a day of musical entertainment, the event will include a resource fair with activities for kids, an environmental fair, educational exhibits, a photo booth, food trucks, and storytelling. The mission of the Lullaby of the Rivers Festival is to "awaken and nurture connections to nature in gatherings of all ages by using music and stories that inspire environmental awareness and consciousness."
