Wichita Riverfest

 

Our Places. Our Faces. Our Hearts.


Is Riverfest great family fun? You bet your sweet windwagon. Starting with the official mascot, Admiral Windwagon Smith, who, legend has it, drove a wagon with sails all the way to Oregon. This year, Riverfest is four days of music, food and events that centers on the banks of the Arkansas River but spans the city. Concerts, parades and even a beer garden await. So set sail for Wichita.
