The Riverwalk debuted last year, and it’s a very popular, year-round destination. The improvements on the Riverwalk have been financed by a loan of $100 million, and events like the Riverwalk Fall Festival are a good way to pay it back. The Riverwalk gets better every year and city officials believe that the festival will be a great way to improve their vision.
Many vendors will remain open through December, longer than initially anticipated, because of its continued success. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for the Riverwalk!
