Revels Riversing

September 20 @ 5:00 pm - 7:15 pm

Revels RiverSing 2025 will be a celebration of the Fall Equinox—when Day and Night are in perfect balance. Families are invited to bring a picnic to the riverbank on the Cambridge side of the Weeks Footbridge, or gather at Winthrop Park in Harvard Square. At both sites, there will be family activities, including Morris Dancing, Honk Band music, face painting and a balloon artist.

The RiverSing Procession of revelers, giant puppets, dancers and musicians will move from Winthrop Park to the Weeks Footbridge, ending in a special Equinox Waltz between Desmond the Day Dragon and Nigel the Night Dragon. Revels Songleader David Coffin and the Revels Chorus will lead the audience in song until dusk, when the event culminates with a river ritual featuring saxophone virtuoso Stan Strickland, as the Sun and Moon perform their duet of Equinox equipoise!
