  Portsmouth, Ohio River Days Festival 1971 Program

  Blue program with blue print.
  Schedule of events and city map.
  The first River Days Festival was held in 1963 and drew a large crowd to Fifth (5th) and Chillicothe Streets. It was such a huge draw that the parade and festivities continued and still happen today, always on Labor Day weekend. Along with the iconic parade, a variety of entertainment events are held. In the early days professional speed boat racing was a big part of the festival.
