Riverfest returns to Wichita in June. Snag your button at these locations for a discount

In just two months, Wichita’s annual Riverfest will return to downtown Wichita with its set of concerts, foods, rides and activities for the whole family from June 2 to 10.

All you need to enter the festival is a Riverfest button you can purchase at several locations in the city. Buttons are good for entry for the festival’s full nine days and every concert.

Here’s where to pick up your button this year and what it’ll cost you.

Discounted Riverfest buttons

Now through May 5, Riverfest buttons are sold for the discounted price of $10 for adults and the normal children’s price of $5.

You can pick up the discounted buttons at Meineke Car Care centers in Wichita and Derby. Check out the following locations:
