The River Festival ends tonight. For those who haven't heard of it, the Grand Finale is GREAT. The Wichita Symphony plays for an hour or better. Patty Austin is paying tribute to Ella Fitzgerald this year. Every year the show ends with the 1812 Oveture. The finish of that piece has Cannons from Fort Riley shooting off at the end. It's fantastic.
Then: Fireworks over the Arkansas (the river above). All of this is outdoors, and also simulcast on Radio. We've been blesses with one of the Greates Firework companies in the world call Wichita their home. Fireworks are alwas set to musice, and last 10 - 20 minutes. You don't have to go downtown (although it's always better), you can see this show from nearly anywhere in the city.
If you miss this year, you can see it next year!!!
