Rio Vista is proud to host the oldest fishing derby on the West Coast. The festival began in 1933 strictly as a one-day fishing derby for striped bass. Today however, the festival has become a three-day derby for bass, catfish and sturgeon.

The festival also boasts music, food and fun for fishermen and non-fishing children and adults as well. The events include a carnival, live music and dancing, classic car show, a pancake breakfast, parade and BBQ. A large fireworks display is also featured on Saturday night.

This event is always held the second weekend in October.
