The Hadi Shriners hold a press conference Wednesday morning to announce the featured acts for the air show that will be a part of the 2016 Shrinersfest taking place along the Evansville riverfront June 22-26.
With the test runs for the Shrinersfest airshows going on this week in downtown Evansville, it gets very loud at my desk in the middle of the office with no windows. It got me thinking, that if I didn't know there was an airshow happening, I would be completely freaked out. You've got to think there's some poor soul out there that was clueless as to what was happening.
This morning, as I was driving to work, I noticed some activity down by the Hadi Shrine Temple. Then it hit me, Shrinersfest is this week! Starting this Wednesday, June 22 and running through Sunday, June 28th, there's plenty to do. And be sure to use #shrinersfest on all your social media!
Here’s your guide to all of the activities this weekend at ShrinersFest:
Friday
Food booths on Riverside are open all day.
Friday is rehearsal day for our air show teams and pilots to become oriented with the downtown riverfront...
The crowd grew steadily all weekend long on the Evansville riverfront for Shrinersfest. Despite the absence of the Blue Angels, the airshow was great entertainment for festival-goers, including an appearance from the amazing B-2 Stealth Bomber...
Shrinersfest continues today with more of the airshow, plus bierstubes and the finals of the Bud Light UFC ticket giveaway and video game tournament.

Check out some pictures of Friday at Shrinersfest, and see a brief glimpse of one of the planes I got from the WKDQ parking lot...
