The entertainment card was full for the last day of the Smoky Hill River Festival.
Patrons spent the beautiful day making sure they checked each food truck off their list.
Art lovers roamed the aisles of booths, buying those last minute items you can't find just anywhere.
Kids were entertained by bubbles, drums, and more with moving art displays.
The Henna artist was easily a crowd favorite, with kids and adults alike waiting in line for a henna tattoo.
New Dawn started off Eric Stein Stage entertainment, singing their collection of songs.
Groups such as Everyday Lights graced listeners on Stage 2, while Sunset Sinners closed out the Festival on Eric Stein Stage to fans dancing on the sunlit floor.
While River Fest '21 was surely a difficult event to maneuver around after cancelling '20, it is my belief that Salina Arts & Humanities, as well as the hundreds of volunteers needed to pull off an event of this magnitude, deserve to be applauded.
Finally, thank you to Brad Anderson. I know you're already planning next year, before you're even finished cleaning up from this year. But, take just a second and receive a huge thank you from everyone who attended River Fest '21. You maneuvered around a pandemic, recovered from missing a year, and still gave us an event that Salina can be proud to call ours.
See you at River Fest '22!
