Your Final Riverfest Round-Up of 2025

Wichita Riverfest 2025 has come and is nearly gone, but there are two packed days of fun left!

A few things to highlight:

If you were looking for the Medallion, it has been found and the 2025 Medallion Hunt has ended. It was found by Alexander King, his fiancee Caitlin Allan and his brother Dominik King.
Today is Fiesta del Rio which is one of the biggest parties of the whole week! La Arrolladora Banda El Limon is coming all the way from Mexico to get the party started.
Tomorrow is jam packed with river activities like the Fishing Derby (free without a button), Cowboy bathtub races, The Voice runner-up Jaelen Johnston, Chris Janson and so much more!
