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 15. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the Riverwest thoroughfare will be abuzz with activity in the form of food and retail vendors, a “mannequin fashion show,” an Art Cart Race (scheduled the start at noon), and a Classic Car Show (1:30 p.m.).

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 seven locations. That bursting lineup includes the likes of Jayke Orvis, Coo Coo Cal, Group Of The Altos, Whiskey & The Devil, Los Mitoteros, and many more.
