Rivers & Spires Festival started in 2003 as a tribute to the returning soldiers of Fort Campbell Military Base, including the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). Since then, it has continued to follow this heritage, with special tributes for the many soldiers who are still deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
