CANCELLATION NOTE FROM 92.5 The River

92.5 the River is sorry to report that due to unexpected tides as a result of hurricane Erin, Riverfest at Salisbury Beach will not be taking place today.

We deeply apologize to all the fans, sponsors, and musicians that have had this date on their calendar for months. We hope you're still able to crank some tunes and enjoy the day. 🎶

Until next time,
92.5 the River Family
