GREENFIELD – Downtown Greenfield’s streets will be rocking this weekend, as the Riley Festival brings live entertainment to two stages.
Tony Seiler, Riley Festival board member who booked all of the acts, said this year’s entertainment is a mix new faces and crowd-pleasing favorites that are returning after long-standing traditions at the festival.
The festival is known for its hometown vibe and plenty of foot traffic for downtown merchants and tent vendors. Live music brings in even more people, Seiler said, with acts from Hancock County and the greater Indianapolis area.
So take a break from all the shopping with friends and gabbing with neighbors. Follow the music and sit for a spell with free live entertainment. Here’s what to expect.
