*COLFAX’S CONCRETE RIVER FESTIVAL - JULY 26-28

Colfax has a long and storied past that often revolved around devastating flooding of the Palouse River. In the mid 1960’s, the United States Corps of Engineers solved the problem by building the Mighty Concrete River, a deep channel in the heart town.

 

Today, residents celebrate this engineering feat with a festival that includes:

  • A Color Mob 5K Fun Run through the Concrete River
  • Live Music all 3 days with beer garden, craft and food vendors
  • Friday Night Street Cruise and Roller Derby Exhibition
  • Saturday Parade, Kid’s Carnival and Car Show
  • Our Palouse: People, Places and Possibilities, 3 day photography exhibition
  • Palouse Sampler, guided photography tour (this event is full)
