Riversing by Revels

Riversing was held in Cambridge last Sunday evening along the banks of the Charles. The annual tradition is now in its seventh year and is well-attended by families and a surprising number of Harvard students. It's basically a very enthusiastic communal sing featuring mostly American Folk songs. Historically held at Harvest time, at dusk, to welcome in the Autumnal season and sung on the banks of a community river, the Riversing is a custom that is generations old. The event is hosted by the Revels organization, which holds a number of holiday and traditional events throughout the year.
