First report: May 7th will mark the 25th Rivertown Music & Arts Festival in historic downtown Conway. This years festival comes some new beer rules, but it's good news for once!
For 25 years this annual festival has celebrated great music, spectacular local art and food from Conway restaurants and vendors. This years event kicks off at 10 a.m. and will last until 9 p.m. Bands playing this years festival will be Sea Cruz, Southern Blue and Sol Driven Train. Also, local artists will be set up along the street showcasing all of their wares.
The new added bonus this year is, for the first time in the festivals long history, Conway City Council has given the go ahead for "to-go" beer and wine to be sold by local businesses. Alcohol is nothing new at the fest, but the difference this year is they are allowing business owners & not just vendors to sell the tasty adult beverages.
- For a complete schedule of the days events, including start times for the above mentioned bands head on over to Myrtle Beach Alternatives.
- And to read more about the new booze-tastic law head on over to The Sun News.
If you're attending make sure to check out their event page on Facebook.
