Rolling River Festival of the Arts (RRFA) usually alternates between the towns of Minnedosa and Rivers every two years. Although the festival was to move to Rivers in 2016, they were unable to put together a committee to organize and host it.

After costs are taken care of, we will be splitting the proceeds between these two organizations, with the exception of the 50/50 draw.
