Yesterday at Clarksville’s Rivers and Spires Festival was Outstanding!
Clarksville, TN – The second day of the Rivers and Spires Festival was without a doubt better than the first! Things officially kicked off around 5:00pm though many people started arriving much earlier. I got there around 4:00pn and the streets were already crowded. As the evening wore on, the streets got fuller and fuller, showing that Clarksvillians were turning out in droves for second day of three-day festival.
“I think things are going great!,” said Cal Wray, the Executive Director of the Clarksville-Montgomery County economic development Council. This marks his first Rivers and Spires Festival since taking the position in February. “It’s a great crowd, and all of the logistics seem to be going very well from the Convention and Visitors Bureau side as well,” he said. “The Festival is a lot of fun. We have some great vendors, some great acts, and so hopefully everyone will have a good time at the Festival tonight and tomorrow!”

The weather remained absolutely perfect, not too hot, not too cold! Meteorologically things look promising for tomorrow as well, with the forecast calling for things to be clear and sunny with the high a balmy 82°F.
Some of the highlights of Day 2 included the kickoff of the Aspire to Stardom Talent Competition, and I showed up to give the contestants a taste of the red carpet, taking pictures of each in front of the Montgomery County Courthouse. Appleton Harley-Davidson’s Last Band Standing continued on the Strawberry Alley Stage.
