Wichita Festivals Reviews

Just stopped in to get my Riverfest buttons. Everyone was really enthusiastic and friendly. Very excited when I mentioned that this would be my first Riverfest.

The hub and brain for one of Wichita's biggest annual events, the Wichita River Festival. This core group along with thousands of volunteers put a a nine-day festival happening at the beginning of June. Parades, car shows, nightly concerts on two different stages are just some of the events that lead to the finale fireworks on the last Saturay of the festival. Make it a point to get out and support, your local anything!

So disappointing! We drove from Kansas City to catch the last day of riverfest. We paid $30 for buttons to buy food and sit on the bank of the river for a picnic and watch fireworks. Only to be turned away because of the drinks we purchased at YOUR EVENT! We hadn't even opened one of the drinks. So we spent $30 to buy overpriced food AND drinks to watch a firework show through a chain link fence(we were chased off the bridge by the police, told we couldn't sit in our chairs on the bridge)
TACKY WICHITA, REAL TACKY

So much to do for $10. I love absoluty love Riverfest. Thank you Wichita!

Since bridge is closed before fireworks. .fencing south of dgls and McKean needs taken down..waled to Maple bridge to get back to West bank..then cdnt get back to Douglas to car. ...wayyy too much fencing....and turned away due to tripod in backpack....really????

One of the greatest volunteer organizations in the Wichita area. I am proud to always be a small part of a group that gives back to our community through such family based forward thinking & planning.

I went here to get my tag and tshirt for riverfest volunteer, which i am doing again this year.

Wichita's premier Festival for over 40 years,, make that Kansas's Premier Festival..

I attended for Riverfest for the first time. I initially thought that you had to buy a button everyday that you attended. The carnival costs $3 each time it you don't have the button. Even though I ended up only wanting to go to the carnival I would still choose to buy a button next time. Definitely would not want to spend $3 each night. And the ferris wheel is within one of the Riverfest areas. Tried the food...it's pretty standard fare. And the have Cajun night...and assortment costs $10 (dinner and a type of dessert). Definitely worth it. Something to do. I also made it to the car show.

No where to park and got denied for trying to bring my dog in even know it's pretty much just a street and a bunch of grass next to the river. Best waste of 10 dollars I've ever spent lol

2016 and 2017, best river fests in a while. Great turnouts and if you keep up with social media and news you know whats starting and when. Keep it up

Wow! Thanks to Common for a fantastic show! High energy, positive, and interactive. Loved the freestyle with Nigerian queen Judith and Roy was amazing singing "Glory"! What a great vacay at Wichita Riverfest!
