The festival adds to one of the busiest arts-and-entertainment weekends of the whole year in Cape Girardeau: First Friday artwalk, Saturday's opening of the SEMO District Fair, plus other events in and around Cape Girardeau throughout the weekend. For a complete list, be sure to read the first edition of the Southeast Missourian's new arts and leisure weekly magazine called SELive, which made its debut Thursday.

Music festivals offer an opportunity to enjoy your favorite bands and allows the bands to reach appreciative audiences. The River City Music Festival organizers hope this year's event will have something special for everyone.,
