We're excited to announce that the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales will be appearing at River Roots Live on Saturday, August 20! The iconic Budweiser wagon will arrive at the festival at 4:30 p.m. to provide beer samples, and all 8 Clydesdales will be hitched to the wagon in the Freight House parking lot beginning at 7 p.m. The public is welcome to come and meet the Clydesdales while they're being hitched at 7 p.m.
The Quad Cities' own Chad Pregracke, founder of Living Lands & Waters, will be riding up to the stage in the wagon later in the evening to welcome everyone to River Roots Live. Chad will be available for comment this evening (Thursday, Aug. 11) at the Living Lands & Waters Barge Party taking place at the Lake Davenport Sailing Club from 5:30 - 9:00 p.m. All media are welcome to attend; please visit the media tent by the barge upon your arrival.
