This year’s Chow Wagon at Waterfront Park features The Miller Lite Music Stage, which will provide plenty of entertainment for almost any musical taste. There will be nearly 30 live concerts. Chow goers will have an opportunity to enjoy both local and regional musicians with a variety of concert events including Urban, Latino, Country, Rock and GospelFest.

This is one of the many Derby events that is inexpensive, fun for everyone, and doesn’t require a reservation. You and your family can enjoy the peaceful flow of the river while tantalizing your taste buds. The amount of unique food alone is appealing such as - brisket with Derby sauce, ribeye sandwiches, gyros, kabobs, funnel cakes, ice cream and even fried candy bars. That is just the tip of the iceberg, as plenty more interesting edibles will be available. You can spend the entire day feasting on carnival and ethnic foods at the Chow Wagon.

Even if you can’t make it out over the weekend, remember, this is a week-long festival of fun on the Riverfront. The Chow Wagon is one of the many annual Derby traditions, and it is one you definitely won’t want to miss out on attending.
