If you’ve strolled downtown recently, you may have noticed a new wave of local performers.

From magicians and jugglers to musicians, painters, creators, and more, talented Noogans are filling the sidewalks just in time for the sunny season.

This influx of art is all thanks to River City Company’s Scenic City Sideshows. The local nonprofit has been helping performers find space to showcase their craft while energizing the downtown area.
