River Bend Art Fair
The 41st River Bend Art Fair takes place this coming Memorial Day Weekend Saturday and Sunday at the Downtown Atchison Mall, Kansas, May 27th and 28th 10:00am to 5:00pm
Along with over 60 artists showing, there is a full schedule of music and entertainment including many folk/celtic music acts from the Kansas City region.
Music on Saturday includes Scottish singer Hazel Whyte, Celtic and Americana Fiddle music from Tenley Hansen & Michael Frazer, Celtic folk music from Tullamore, and Scottish and Irish music from Glenfinnan. Music on Sunday includes Irish balladeer Tom Meehan.
Also there will be a session during/after the artist reception and dinner on Saturday evening (5:30) which is open to anyone who wants to play some Irish/Celtic/Americana/Old Timey music.
With plenty for the kids too, the River Bend Fair sounds like a great time and a perfect opportunity to visit Atchison.
