Three Rivers Festival - Mayor Tom Henry drinks a lemon shake-up as he is introduced by Jack Hammer, Friday's ribbon-cutting ceremony

Three Rivers Festival

I always want to go to the Three Rivers Festival. After 8 years in Florid, I found that the…read morefestival has NO plan for handicap and disabled people. the parking lots and garages are so far from the places people want to go it becomes a big chore. I'm disables and some how I walked from Fourth St to Junk Food Alley. very disappointed that the Marketplace wasn't open on Thursday. How are those people supposed to make they're money on just the weekend!? My idea is to have a place for people to Drop off handicap people, then go find a place to park, and be able to pick them up at drop off point. we ended up getting picked up in the delivery lanes that were blocked off. Worked out well for us, but it needs to be for all!! I feel you're not accommodating the disabled and handicap people very well!

Wedged between Emma's Cookie Kitchen and Timmy's barbecue stand - and all the wafting greasiness…read morethat each Junk Food Alley vendor radiated - Mayor Tom Henry was pried away from his lemon shake-up Friday morning to commence the 43rd annual Fort Wayne Newspapers Three Rivers Festival. Snipping the red kickoff ribbon alongside festival workers and Executive Director Jack Hammer, Henry praised the yearly celebration as a transformative city staple. He recalled the festival's first run in 1969, when it was stationed along Columbia Street and mostly intended for business promotion. "Look what it has evolved to over the past 40 years - 500,000 people come into Fort Wayne every year and see what it has to offer," Henry said. He touted the nine-day event as helping "citizens rediscover Fort Wayne" who may take for granted the city's attractions. Now, the festival represents the intersection of proud heritage and forward-thinking development, Hammer added. He said selecting his most anticipated event is like choosing "which daughter I love more." Hammer eventually admitted RiverGames and International Village - two former offerings returning after brief hiatuses - will aid in breathing a "new life and new birth" into the usual lineup. For Henry, the lingering question had a more decisive response: He cited the Bed Race and the inventive methods teams employ to meet contest requirements as a personal delight. Of course, the mayor, who had to trade a fresh lemon shake-up and clamshell container of homemade sweets for the ribbon-cutting shears, also favors another festival essential. "We're standing at it - the nutritious food alley," Henry said. "This is always the fun place to be.
