Join us on Thursday, May 3 for a very special trip down the Mississippi River aboard the Anson Northup, a faithful reproduction of the steam ships from an earlier era. This very special kick-off dance party includes a three hour cruise down one of the world’s legendary rivers, a cash bar and live music from local legends Patty and the Buttons, featuring Patrick Harison of Loose Marbles fame. Reunite with friends, make new acquaintances, watch the riverbank glide by and spend an early evening dancing on Old Man River.
Festival Pass and Dance Pass holders are invited to purchase a riverboat pass for just $20. Everyone else is welcome to join the kick off party for $25. These general tickets are available from our Riverboat Ticket page.
The Riverboat Cruise information is updated, accurate, and correct. It’s on the Thursday before MWLF.
