The Topeka Blues Society (TBS) presents the 6th Annual Spirit of Kansas Blues Festival on Saturday, the 4th of July, at Reynolds Lodge, Lake Shawnee, Topeka. Music starts at 11:30am, and continues until dark. A spectacular fireworks display then lights up the sky, reflecting over the lake. FREE admission!
Attendees may bring shade tents (there will be a designated area), coolers/food, blankets and chairs. The Topeka Blues Society has a food tent – those proceeds benefit the Topeka Blues Society and this festival. More Food and Arts & Crafts vendors are nearby.
