Rivers 'n' Roots: A Celebration of Music, Memories, and Community  

It’s with a heart full of gratitude and excitement that we announce that Rivers 'n' Roots will not be returning for 2025. While the continuation of our story may be delayed, the incredible memories, performances, and connections we’ve shared over the past year will continue to resonate in every note and everybeat. 

The good news? This isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning. The spirit of Rivers 'n' Roots lives on, and we’re already looking ahead to the future by exploring new ways to keep the music flowing, the community strong, and the roots deep. 

From the foot-tapping rhythms drifting their way down the Grand River, to the heartfelt tunes heard deep into the roots of our little town of Paris, Rivers 'n' Roots is all about bringing people together in the name of country music. Whether you were dancing in the dust, singing along to your favorite songs, orsharing laughs and stories with new friends, we couldn’t have asked for a moreunforgettable first year! 

Thank you to every fan, artist and sponsor who made our inaugural year a true success. Your passion, energy, and love for country music made it something special, and for that, we are eternally grateful. Keep the music alive, keep the memories close, and keep those roots planted. We can’t wait to see where the road takes us next.

Stay tuned for what’s comingand until then we can’t wait to welcome our friends back to the fairgrounds for the 2025 Paris Fair from August 28 to September 1, 2025.
