RiverFire

Mingle with ghosts, goblins, zombies and other ghoulish creatures on Saturday, October 18, at RiverFire, Berlin’s annual fall family festival. Hosted by the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce and held at Service Credit Union Heritage Park, the daylong event culminates at dusk with a display of hundreds of carved and lit pumpkins and the lighting of bonfires on the river that illuminate the night and appear to be floating on water! Festivities kick off with the Zombie ATV Poker Run & Scavenger Hunt, where participants dress up like a zombie and decorate their rigs to fit the ghoulish theme, followed by the RiverFire 5K Race presented by Coos County Family Health Services. RiverFire is family-oriented, with a host of games and activities for all ages, including a Fun Zone with bounce houses, face painting, and the Coos Cute Hoppers 4H Rabbit Club, a Children’s Halloween Parade, hayrides and train rides, live music by “Beautiful Wreck,” food vendors, beer tent, and more. Admission to Service Credit Union Heritage Park is free; separate charges apply to each event. ATVs are welcome. Free parking and shuttle rides are available beginning at noon.
