🎶 It’s Smoky Hill River Festival weekend!
Over the years, the River Festival has become Salina’s unofficial homecoming—a time when friends, family, and neighbors come together to celebrate everything that makes our community special.
For more than 25 years, Hickory Hut’s iconic red-and-white stand was right in the middle of the action, serving up Serious BBQ to festival-goers. While you won’t find our stand at the festival these days, you’ll still find the same great BBQ and familiar faces right here at Hickory Hut.
We’re looking forward to seeing old friends, welcoming new ones, and celebrating another great River Festival weekend with the Salina community we love.
Stop by and see us!
