Wichita Festivals announced Friday the return of Riverfest, but the event will look different than in years past.
Instead of the traditional nine-day event in June, Riverfest will be presented over two separate, extended weekends.
From June 4-6, Riverfest will host its traditional participatory events and two new virtual events. Between Sept. 30 and Oct. 3, it will be a more traditional festival with food courts and concerts.
Ann Keefer is the interim president and CEO of Wichita Festivals. She says she’s excited for the return of Riverfest.
“We know that you’re ready to get out there and party again. And so are we,” Keefer said. “We also feel a strong responsibility to keep our fans safe. So, Riverfest is going to look a little bit different this year, and we hope you’re excited to join us.”
