Good Neighbor ParkPolicyThe Smoky Hill River Festival takes place in scenic Oakdale Park, one of Salina’s oldest and most beautiful. To lessen the impact of over 75,000 festival goers, and to provide a comfortable experience for everyone, the Festival is asking for cooperation with the following:• Blankets and chairs must be removed each evening of the Festival. Note - following each night’s closing act, Festival staff removes all blankets, chairs, etc. from the park. Check Lost and Found.• Plastic ground tarps will not be allowed because of harm to grassy areas.• Individual tent covers in front of the Eric Stein Stage, and in other areas of the park are not allowed.• Umbrellas will be restricted to use behind a marked boundary to facilitate sight line. Please stay behind this line with your umbrellas.• Please do not bring pets or animals to the Festival.• Due to obvious hazards, glass, rollerblades, skateboards, scooters, bicycles are prohibited.• For safety, and as a courtesy to our entertainers, please keep children at a reasonable distance from the stages, and off the steps of the Eric Stein Stage.• Absolutely NO unauthorized vending is permitted on Festival grounds.• One last request - please place your personal trash in a receptacle. Help leave Oakdale Park in great shape!

It’s Easy to be Green!Look for receptacles for recycling of plastic water bottles and cans around the Festival, and help us to reduce the amount of trash sent to the landfill.

Access to Oakdale Park will again be limited after 10 p.m., as early morning preparations are necessary to ready the park for the day. Gates will open promptly at 9:00 a.m. daily, at which time Festival goers may enter the park.

The area in front of the Eric Stein Stage is marked with an aisle for easier access to trash service.

Samantha P. AngellMayor

Welcome!For 35 years the Smoky Hill River Festival has been a community celebration of the arts like none other. A dedicated staff, numerous Parks Department and City of Salina employees and more than 2000 volunteers help make this Festival great!

Whether you are here for the first time or a seasoned Festival veteran, I would like to challenge you to do something new this year. Check out the children’s area or Bravo Salina! Stage, visit with an artist or craftsperson in the Fine Art or Four Rivers shows, try a new genre of music, or try the Salina Art Center’s “Instruction Construction” over by Stage II. Stop by “Art of the Bicycle” or more than 20 other Artist-in-Action installations. If you are really feeling bold, I have heard there is even some chocolate covered bacon in the park!

As a special treat this year we are offering two performances Saturday night. Annie Up will play on the Eric Stein Stage while George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic will be at the Bicentennial Center. Enjoy some smooth country under the stars or put on your funk in the air conditioning!

Step out, try something new, enjoy your favorites and remember Salina has excellent arts, entertainment and cultural events all year long!

Art of the Bicycle Industrial design enters our environment on a daily basis. What more familiar item could bring such a fascinating and interesting look at the often-overlooked design world than the BICYCLE! From vintage bikes to manufactured oddities, art bikes and invented contraptions - enjoy the artistic, the creative and the unusual - bicycle design in a capsule. This marvelous exhibit was inspired by a visit to the annual “Art of the Bicycle” exhibit at the Go Away Garage in Wichita. Bicycles exhibited come to the Festival from the avid bicycle enthusiasts and collectors who are members of The Coasters Bicycle Club of Wichita. Additional bikes and kinetic sculptures from Salina and Partridge, KS give a glimpse into the expanding appreciation for human-powered art and design.South of Bicentennial Center BridgeFriday: 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.Saturday: 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.Sunday: 9:00 - 5:00 p.m.

The Art of LetteringKansas City graffiti artist GEAR returns with The Art of Lettering. I focus on how many ways to bend and twist lettering to a point where people stop seeing it as letter, as a word, but more as an abstract art piece. To a graffiti writer/artist, lettering is the most important part of a mural . . . just as important as the characters . . .both inspiration to young artists to create their own styles. West of Demonstration Area

The Glass ImaginariumWhat are these otherworldly artifacts? Where did they come from and how did they arrive? Perhaps they grew here? Are they cocoons of some giant slumbering butterflies, or the nesting remnants of exotic birds? Maybe they’re overgrown vegetable pods, waiting to flower; or perhaps they’re the exoskeletons of extraterrestrial insects? Could they be fantastical pheasants hung by the campfire, or colorful dragon larvae? Let your imagination guide you at the river’s edge. Discern and discover their mysterious nature, purpose and origin. By artist Chad Fonfara, Kearney, NE.Riverbank at Kenwood Bridge
