Riverside is where community comes to play. Our downtown Arts & Culture District is home to public galleries, live performances and festivals, and nightlife. Our cultural experiences, scenic attractions and entertainment draw people to our city.
As our tourism industry evolves, Riverside stays rooted in its history. We boast two dozen nationally registered historic sites across our city.
On the field, Riverside is leveling up by investing in sports to build champions and create opportunity. And for more leisurely activity, our city is home to miles of parks, trails and more for residents and visitors alike to enjoy 280+ sunny days a year.
