Center Street Daze Festival—which began way back in 1997 and is organized by the Riverwest Business Association—will make its triumphant return to Center Street (between Holton and Humboldt) on Saturday, August 16. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the Riverwest thoroughfare will be abuzz with activity in the form of food and retail vendors, pushcart races, Dead Man’s Carnival, yard games, a “roving magician,” a car show, and more.

Of course, there will also be live music. Lots and lots of live music! Throughout Saturday afternoon/evening, Center Street Daze will feature a wide range of musicians and DJs playing at six locations. That bursting lineup includes the likes of Breakup Tour, Stephen Hull And The Wilsons, Big Style Brass Band, and many more. Riverwest Radio will also be hosting panels with radio show producers in front of the station. You can check out the Center Street Daze Festival lineup below (lineup is subject to change).
