Located at Kansas City's Riverfront at Berkley Park, KCRiverFest has become "Kansas City's Riverfront Tradition;" known as the only place in downtown Kansas City to celebrate the Fourth of July with fireworks and family entertainment.

The event will feature food, extreme river sports demonstrations, a Brewfest, exhibits, childrens activities and musical entertainment by local bands culminating in a stirring performance by the U.S. Air Force Band prior to a Spectacular Firework display on July 4th.

"The fun and exciting activities at KCRiverFest are developed to create awareness of the history and development of the Missouri River in our area," said Friends of the River - Kansas City (FOR-KC) Board Chairman George Pisciotta. "Tens of thousands of Kansas Citians have attended this event in the past, and this year promises to be bigger and better.
