As 2024 wraps up, let’s celebrate another year of resilience, growth, and vibrancy in Riverside! From navigating Ontario Line construction to bringing back the Riverside Eats & Beats Streetfest bigger than ever, we’ve tackled challenges head-on, and embraced opportunities with creativity and collaboration.

A heartfelt thank-you to our hardworking volunteer Board, dedicated BIA team, our elected officials, and our over 100 members who make our BIA thrive. Together with our partners and collaborators, we’ve delivered impactful programs like Queen East Eats & CafeTO, the Queen East Winter Windows Showcase, and vibrant streetscape & public art projects that keep Riverside buzzing throughout the year.

While we’ve bid farewell to some beloved local businesses, we’ve welcomed many amazing new ones that are continuing the legacy of community spirit that defines Riverside.

Here’s to celebrating our achievements and looking ahead to an exciting 2025! Check out our favorite 2024 memories and a sneak peek of what’s to come below.

Wishing you safe, happy holidays and a fantastic new year!
