The Smoky Hill River Festival is loved by many, and that was evident on Saturday.

Crowds had no problem lining up before gates opened at 10am, lawn chairs and coolers in tow.

The sun shone bright as River Fest patrons swarmed Festival Grounds to take in everything Saturday had to offer.

Roving art entertained kids of all ages.

Artistic eyes were spotting the perfect piece to add to their collection.

Those with a musical ear took in tunes from numerous bands throughout the park on three stages.
Phantom Blues Band closed the day out, giving fans a smooth blend of new tunes and old blues.
The fun continues on Sunday for a final day of Festival fun. Sunset Sinners will close out the weekend.
