Wichita Country Music & Arts Festival 2027

The Wichita Country Music & Arts Festival 2027 is a free, family-friendly country-music and arts event scheduled for Saturday, April 10, 2027, in downtown Wichita, Kansas. It combines full-band country performances with arts, crafts, food, and market vendors, positioning itself as an accessible all-day community festival.

Music lineup

The announced bill runs from noon into the evening, with four country acts currently listed by the organizer. Drew Six & The Soul Plains Drifters are scheduled for noon, followed by the Clay Clear Band at 2 p.m., Caden Wilson at 4 p.m., and Ashley Wineland at 6 p.m.; the organizer describes these as full-band performances.

Beyond the concerts

The festival is designed as more than a concert bill. Alongside the music, organizers advertise an Arts & Crafts Marketplace, a Farmers Fresh Market, and a food-and-beverage garden, giving local makers and vendors a substantial role in the event rather than treating them as a small add-on.

Admission and atmosphere

General admission and on-site parking are currently advertised as free, with sponsors underwriting access. Organizers encourage attendees to bring lawn chairs or blankets; pets and coolers are prohibited, and the performances are promoted as family-friendly.

What stands out

The combination of free admission, four full-band country sets, and an arts-and-market component makes the festival notably low-barrier compared with ticketed destination country festivals. The Wichita date is also part of a broader 2027 festival calendar that includes events in Gilbert, Arizona, and several Kansas communities, suggesting a touring regional festival format rather than a one-off concert.
