Riverfest plans still on schedule for July
The people who put on Riverfest in La Crosse are hoping COVID vaccines and safety precautions will let them have a festival as usual this July, unlike last year.
Riverfest president Brad Pitel says volunteers are preparing for the possibility of an event with entertainment, and food and beer tents, with certain health measures still in place.
Country star Randy Houser, who also had been scheduled for the 2020 Riverfest, is set to perform on July 1st.
Pitel says they haven’t decided yet whether a new Commodore and First Mate will be chosen for 2021.
