You should know, there’s going to be a lot happening during the six hours of Riverside Eats & Beats, so consider making a list of things you want to see or check out so you can plan accordingly, whether it’s the sidewalk sales at your favorite vintage stores or things that are more time-sensitive like the brewery tour at Eastbound Brewing Co or Pooch Pride at Joel Weeks Park.
2. Choose the right outfit.
Come rain or come shine, Riverside Eats & Beats is happening so it’s best to be prepared for all types of weather.
