Whether you're getting color on a coloring page or on your face, Wabash Riverfest will be a colorful place! Get a mural on your face, color on our tabletop coloring poster, or color your own wildlife coloring page to take home. Both these stations are near the live music, so it's a good chance to chill out and enjoy the shade!
