Rivercade may sink in red ink

August 16, 2002 By admin

The Rivercade festival in Sioux City earlier this month may have been the last time the annual event’s staged in northwest Iowa. The sponsoring organization is 60-thousand dollars in debt. Rivercade executive director Judi Simoni says the board of directors will try to figure out a way to continue, but she says economically, they’ve got to face the bottom line. Simoni says attendance started dipping a few years back when the Rivercade grounds were moved to a park south of the city that did not offer a clear river-view. Simoni says the Rivercade board is willing to look at all sorts of alternatives, but she says the 2002 River-cade was likely the last. The first River-cade festival was held in Sioux City in 1964. The annual event has featured music concerts, regattas on the river and a parade.
