You've got no excuse to miss a FREE show of this caliber!We're giving away a motorcycle from Wiebler's Harley Davidson on Saturday, and the kids will love the fun workshops and entertainment at the Jr. Jam Tent. The Figge is even hosting a River ARTS Live workshop where kids can create their own artwork. Even the Budweiser Clydesdales are coming to River Roots Live! Don't miss your opportunity to meet the world-famous horses on Saturday night. From critically acclaimed bands to mouth-watering barbebque, the festival is going to be an absolute blast. River Roots Live will go on rain or shine, and click here to register as a volunteer. We'd also like to thank Rhythm City Casino, Riverboat Development Authority, and all of our sponsors for making this amazing festival possible.
