The La Crosse Commodores are a distinguished group of individuals who not only make a difference in the community but
also have the honor of reigning over the annual Riverfest celebration. Each year, a deserving couple is carefully chosen to serve as the Commodore and First Mate, recognizing their outstanding contributions and commitment to the community.
As the ambassadors of Riverfest, they play a vital role in promoting the festival and its values of unity, joy, and community spirit. Beyond their responsibilities during the celebration, the Commodores actively engage in charitable efforts, particularly focusing on supporting foundations and children in need. The La Crosse Commodores are truly remarkable individuals who leave a lasting impact not only during their reign over Riverfest but throughout the year as they continue to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
