Our 21st annual Riverfest in downtown Vicksburg will kick off today at 6:00 p.m. when gates open for evening entertainment. Hopefully, the rain will be out of here by then. The highlights of the evening will be famous county music star, Jason Aldean. Also, our hometown band that is really good, The Chill, plus other bands. There will be two stages, a north and south stage. Tomorrow night the highlight of the evening will be Rick Springfield plus other band attractions. Tomorrow the Vicksburg-Warren County Riverfest Arts & Crafts Show will celebrate 40 years at the 2008 Riverfest and will take place in front of Vicksburg City Hall. There will be about 100 vendors from across the south that are expected to set up shop for the day-long event, which begins at 8:00 a.m. and runs until 4:30. Also, The Bluz Cruz Marathon which is a 22-mile, charity fundraiser, usually held the same weekend as Riverfest, is being postpone until May 17 due to high Mississippi River stages. A lot going on this weekend in Vicksburg. This will be party town for sure. Will not get to participate because of Doctors orders - maybe next year. This is not a sweetthing!
