Living In A Van Down By The Riverfest
‘Tis the season for one of the most entertaining events of the year: Riverfest! It’s a celebration of all things Wichita, weird, but most of all fun. Centered in the heart of downtown ICT, this festival is jam packed with an array of food, music, and entertainment. Here’s a breakdown of the most exhilarating parts of this annual soiree:
The Medallion Hunt //
If you’re as competitive as I am, you’ll understand the joys and frustrations of this legendary establishment. Each year, The Wichita Eagle posts a series of clues designed to test even the most clever minds. A medallion is hidden somewhere in the city in this real-life, Goonies-esque treasure hunt. First person to find the medallion wins a prize. What is it? Honestly, who cares! Bragging rights about winning this brain-bending game are enough.
Music //
This year’s line up of musical guests really highlights the growth this annual event has undergone in the last few years. With groups such as Flogging Molly, Mayer Hawthorne, and The Village People showing up in the ICT scene, it’s obvious the event planners have really stepped up their A-game. And for only $10 per button, which gets you access to every event, your money is being well spent! Here’s a full list of the musical guests this year.
