The music is coming back.

The Rotary Club of Salida plans to host their annual Bluegrass on the Arkansas event on May 29 and 30 at Riverside Park. The event is free and has been enjoyed by the community for the past 16 years.

As with previous year’s events, Rotary is requesting donations. Profits from the event are returned to our community in the form of youth scholarships awarded annually and to many local nonprofits. Bluegrass on the Arkansas is a fundraiser for the Salida Rotary Charitable Fund.
