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?
