Flag raised above Riverfest
Flag ceremony officially starts 35th Riverfest
Past and present Riverfest royalty gathered on Friday afternoon to raise the Stars and Stripes above La Crosse’s Riverside Park.
Mayor Tim Kabat was among the VIP’s speaking at the ceremony, and “Singing Commodores” performed the national anthem.
Jeff and Andrea Wieser of La Crescent will preside as Commodore and First Mate for the 2017 festival.
It’s normally a four-day event, but this year Riverfest will last five days so it can run from Friday to the 4th of July on Tuesday.
