Bluegrass on the Arkansas, an annual fundraiser for the Salida Rotary Club, will be back in Riverside Park on Sunday, May 29th from Noon until 6:00 PM. Admission is free.
Headliners, Blue Canyon Boys, are winners of the 2008 Telluride Bluegrass Festival band contest. Also featured is Spring Creek, 2007 contest winners and a local favorite. Waiting on Trial, a talented group from Durango, also promises an excellent performance. A special attraction will be the opening performance of rising local talent, the Powell Sisters.
This is a free event that our community enjoys every year and draws visitors to Salida. In addition to the line-up of bluegrass bands, volunteers from the Rotary Club have games available for kids making this a fun day for families.
This year, the event will also serve as a post-race celebration for the inaugural year of the “Arkansas River Bluegrass Marathon and Half Marathon” organized by the Chaffee County Running Club, along with the Salida Recreation Department.
The Salida Rotary Club will serve food and drinks as a fundraiser to help the youth of our community in the form of vocational and scholastic scholarships.
Food options will be expanded this year to include vegetarian wraps and chicken sandwiches in addition to hamburgers and hotdogs. Beer, wine and sodas will also be available for sale.
