Read by the River is an annual event sponsored by Tufts Hillel that hosts over 1,200 local children and their families to a myriad of reading-related and crafting activities. This year’s event took place on Sunday and saw tables from many of Tufts’ fraternities and sororities, athletic teams, advocacy groups and culture clubs. Many groups from the Medford and Somerville areas were also present.
