TOG statement on COVID-19:
It is with very heavy hearts that The Olney Group have decided to cancel Riverfest this year. This would have included Riverfest Rocks on the night of 4th July and Riverfest which includes the Raft and Duck Races on 5th July. With the uncertainty around the date and nature of the easing of restrictions we feel it would be unwise to proceed with planning the event at this stage. Rest assured, we intend to be back bigger and better next year.

Who we are and what we do.
The Olney Group (TOG) is a small independent group of local people who value the village-like community of Olney and support it by putting on two events for the town each year. These events, Olney Raft Race (now RiverFest) and Olney Fireworks, have become ingrained in Olney's calendar and help to make living here a great experience.
We're a non-profit group run by volunteers. If you'd like to meet more people in Olney, and would enjoy working together in a fun environment to facilitate these events, please follow The Olney Group on Facebook or click here to get in touch. We're always looking for volunteer helpers who can assist with organisation, event promotion, setting up events, marshalling and so on.
The ethos of the group is to 'Support Unity in the Community'. To this end, we not only put on events of our own but we also encourage others to bring their stalls to our events. We're particularly keen on promoting local businesses and charities where possible.
If you'd like to get involved, or if you just want to know more about our events and what we do, why not come to one of our friendly meetings?
