TAMPA, Fla. — A fun free celebration of the Tampa Riverwalk and its importance to the city, the two-day Riverfest is scheduled for Friday, May 5 & Saturday, May 6.
The big family-friendly party — this is the seventh Riverfest — will feature live bands, water-skiing shows, wiener dog races and more.
The highlight will be the Lantern Parade, the event's finale on Saturday. It's free to walk in the parade, all ages included, but registration is required.
Lantern kits are available online and start at $15. You can buy them here.
Artysta LuLu, a renowned local talent, will help people build their lanterns at several free workshops before the event, including this Thursday at Armature Works and right before the parade.
