The 2021 Smoky Hill River Festival is well under way.
Friday saw humid weather and sunshine, and with it great food, great music, and the joys of River Festival entertainment.
Gates opened at 10am, while each entrance had a decent line formed of eager Festival fans.
Patrons were greeted with the familiar sights, sounds, and smells that are familiar to all of us.
Walking entertainment is spread throughout the Festival included a human statue, balloon hats, and giant bubbles. Kids enjoyed trying to make giant bubbles.
Art is pleasantly placed to treat the eyes of both young and old alike. While most are in plain sight and easy to see, others are lurking in the River, waiting for your visual eye to find them.
Performances are staged under 3 tents, including Eric Stein Stage. Local favorites and those who traveled from around the US are treating your ears to music from around the globe in styles such as country, rock, pop, reggae, rap, instrumental, and so much more.
Finally, who can resist Festival food? Funnel cake, corn cobs, homemade ice cream, and turkey legs are just a few of the many delectable treats available this year.
The fun and festivities continue today, and the weather looks to be abundantly pleasant.
Gates open at 10am, and entertainment will follow.
See you there!
