"We put on Tampa RiverFest, Riverwalk trick or treat. We also provide the decorations along the riverwalk around the holidays, we light up Water Works park, and we also provide the lighted displays that are located in and along the river," said Friends of The Riverwalk Executive Director MaryBeth Williams.
This is the eighth year the event took place.
Williams said last year brought 25,000 people. She believes this year brought even more.
