Wichita Festivals has announced that the early-bird discount for Riverfest buttons is back for 2019! Buying your buttons early will save you up to $3 per button!
Beginning April 5, you can purchase your button at Meineke Car Care Centers and get the early-bird discount of $7 for adults and only $3 for children ages 6-12. (No button is required for children 5 and younger.)
The discount is good through May 5; after that the buttons go back up to regular price.
Once you have your button, check out all the ways it can help you save! The Wichita River Festival button gets you access to nine days of activities and entertainment, it also serves as a wearable coupon with discounts to some of Wichita’s favorite attractions.
2019 Riverfest child button costs only $3 with the early-bird discount
Or you can order your buttons online right now at the early-bird price and either have them mailed to you or pick them up at will-call. Online fees do add 50 cents to the price of each button, however.
Whichever way you buy them, for longtime Wichitans who are still getting used to the idea of a $10 Riverfest button (still a steal, by the way, in my opinion), the earlybird pricing is a nice gesture! The discount is good on adult and child Riverfest buttons!
Here are the locations where they’re available in Wichita, Hutchinson, and Derby:

February 28, 2019 at 1:53 PMI may need to make it clearer then – the early-bird discount is already available online; however, the in-person sales don’t begin until April 5, as it states in the article:
“Beginning April 5, you can purchase your button at Meineke Car Care Centers and get the early-bird discount of $7 for adults and only $3 for children ages 6-12. (No button is required for children 5 and younger.)”
“Or you can pre-order your buttons online right now at the early-bird price and either have them mailed to you or pick them up at will-call. Online fees do add 50 cents to the price of each button, however.”
Carolyn says
February 28, 2019 at 1:59 PMI’m also not sure why it’s showing the All Day Thursday, February 28 part. That actually wasn’t intentional, so I’m going to have to look into why the calendar is showing it that way! It’s supposed to show up as starting April 5 at the Meineke Car Care Centers, so I think there’s a technical glitch. I apologize for your wasted trip!

February 5, 2018 at 6:42 PMAre you aware that the City wide garage sales have a date of 2017?
Carolyn says
February 6, 2018 at 7:57 AMYes. We’re still updating it for 2018. We have to call all of the little towns in the area to get this year’s dates.
Kat says
February 2, 2018 at 12:24 PMThere is a $3.82 service fee to buy online making the button $10.82 which is more than full price.
Carolyn says
February 2, 2018 at 12:33 PMThere was no service fee when I first looked at it, because you pick the buttons up. Maybe it has changed. I will go look at it again. Thanks, Kat.
Carolyn says
February 2, 2018 at 12:37 PMOhhh. Yup. You are right! There is no *delivery* fee, but there is a service fee. š Okay then. I should have known. There are always service fees.
So we’ll be marking our calendars to pick them up in person then! Thanks again, Kat.

January 30, 2018 at 1:21 AMIf one purchases a riverfest button online, is the bjtton msiled to the purchaser. If not, why would one purchase a button online?
Carolyn says
January 30, 2018 at 10:55 AMAccording to the ticket site, the buttons will be waiting for us at the event. (I need to find out where their “will-call” will be.) The reason I would want to purchase a button online is that I can get it now for the earlybird rate, rather than have to go pick one up when they go on sale. It’s just easier for me. But they’ll have them on sale for the earlybird rate at physical locations in Wichita if that’s easier for you. I’ll update the where and when as soon as I find out.
