Salute to the Military concert headlines Tuesday’s Riverfest activities

A salute to the military will highlight a day full of festival activities on Tuesday.

King Midas & the Muflers will play a tribute concert to the military. NewSpring Church will play a Christian concert as the opening act. The concert is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. and will take place on Kennedy Plaza Stage.

Most events and activities can be attended with the purchase of a Riverfest button. There are additional costs for helicopter rides, food and carnival ride tickets. Buttons can be purchased at the festival gates or at any local QuikTrip.
