River Festival

• The River Fest is about when the pioneers decided
  to have a year long celebration of the 100th
  anniversary of Wichita.
• It was called the River Festival, because the
  Arkansas River was such an important resource
  they had the last day of the year long fest along
  the river.
• They held A carnival, hoe-down, hometown fair,
  water shows, a pow-wow and A fishing contest.
• This is now an annual event and attracts people
  from all over Kansas adding up to about 350,000
  people.
