On Friday, July 24, 2022, celebrate movement in all forms at the very first Riverfront Dance Festival, produced by The Hartford Dance Collective.
This performance provides a unique opportunity for distinguished dancers and choreographers, students, and community members, to present original works in a free public gathering with a strong emphasis on the inclusion of diverse dance styles.
Grab your lawn chair to sit back and enjoy dazzling performances, visual arts vendors, and food trucks; or get up and groove with the interactive performances that surround Mortensen Riverfront Plaza, overlooking the Connecticut River.
