The crowd enjoys the musice at Riverwalk Music Festival April 17. On Saturday, April 17, 2010, hundreds gathered at the Riverwalk Amphitheatre on Alexander Road near the Gervais Street Bridge in West Columbia to enjoy live music and visual arts on the banks of Congaree River with the Columbia skyline in view. Families and young people from across the Midlands enjoyed the free entertainment and the beautiful weather.

Included in the festival was the Artist’s Courtyard. Twenty five local artisans displayed their original artwork in a variety of mediums from glass and photography to oil, prints, and water color.
