Folks celebrated the Penobscot River on the Bangor waterfront Saturday.
The 3rd annual Penobscot River Revival Festival kicked off at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
Numberous exhibitors and artists lined the waterfront to share their research about the river.
Organizers say the Penobscot River has come a long way, and they hope events like this one create awareness across the community.
"We're here to share all of the information that we have and we're learning about the river so that people can know what's going on and get involved," said Christine Lipsky, a co-organizer of the festival.
Organizers say thanks to hard work and research they have brought species back to the river, and will hopefully continue to do so.
Lipsky says this years turn-out was bigger than last. She hopes that is a continuing trend.
