Riverfest Kids Free Without a Button: Family Fun Day

Family Fun Day at Wichita Riverfest is one of the best deals of the week. Kids don’t need a button to enjoy activities at Riverfest. Families can explore downtown Wichita and create lasting memories, all while supporting a tradition that brings our community together year after year.

Children 12 and under get in FREE all day — no button required!

That’s right — while adults still need a festival button, any child 12 and under on Sunday, May 31st can enjoy a full day of Riverfest activities for free, as long as they’re accompanied by a button-wearing adult.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Free admission to the carnival for kids 12 and under
  • Wagonmasters River Tours – a favorite tradition, now free for the little ones
  • Interactive learning stations
  • Live entertainment the whole family can enjoy
  • Hands-on crafts, games, and STEM activities
  • Community and cultural showcases that bring Wichita’s neighborhoods to life

Whether your kids are adrenaline-seekers, nature lovers, or future scientists, there’s something for every interest at Family Fun Day.

Why is this such a great deal?

So, bring your kids on Sunday to have some fun while you save! This is your chance to enjoy everything Riverfest has to offer with your favorite people, without breaking the bank.
