Riverfest returns to downtown Tampa

After a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Riverfest returns to Curtis Hixon Park this weekend. 

This is year three for the public, two-day, free event, which is typically held the first weekend in May. 

The festival will span the entire length of the downtown Riverwalk, including several parks, and features family-friendly activities and events that highlight the city’s cultural institutions, musicians and restaurants.

The event kicks off Friday night with the ‘Taste of Riverwalk’ and features a balloon glow at sunset both nights. 

There will also be a wiener dog derby, taco festival, lantern parade, yoga in the park and a paddle invasion.
