"It's good to see the river being used, as it's such an asset to Horsham," Marcus Gregg said.
Some suggestions for future events included a market and more water activities in addition to the current program of events, which was declared to be a good use of the river and a nice place to meet.
The Summer Series organized by the Horsham Rural City Council included two Christmas events in December 2023.
The events allowed locals and visitors to enjoy the Wimmera Riverfront while relaxing with food, drinks, and live music.
Cr David Bowe attended the event and said he was pleased with the positive response from people attending the Summer Series.
