The Cheat River Festival is Friends of the Cheat’s largest annual fundraiser, bringing together over 3,000 passionate supporters to help clean up and preserve the Cheat River watershed for the past 30 years. The celebration begins Friday night with the Cheat River Massacre-ence, the nation’s largest mass-start downriver race. Over the two-days, attendees can enjoy live local music, delicious food, unique art and craft vendors, yoga classes, educational presentations, nonprofit displays, and a vibrant kids’ tent packed with activities. On Saturday morning, the Cheat Fest 5K Foot Race takes runners along the stunning Cheat River on the newly constructed Cheat River Rail Trail.
