The Summer Salute has officially taken over downtown Hopkinsville, and people are urged to come take advantage of vendors, food, carnival rides and live music.
It’s a familiar set up to long time Hopkinsville festival goers, as the carnival rides are at Founder’s Square and the smaller music stage is set up in the parking lot of the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library, and Jan Oglesby with Parks and Recreation says there’s a ton of things for people to do along with more food choices than you can shake a stick at.
She says KC and the Sunshine Band take over the main stage around 8:15 p.m. Saturday night and there will even be a costume contest for fun.
The concert is completely free, as is entry into the Summer Salute, and the Fun Zone rides include the traditional free kids rides, along with a new section of Fun Zone thrill rides that are offered this year for a $15 wristband for unlimited half-day ride sessions.
