Lucky for me I found not only this beautiful alley, but so much more. There are many photo ops here and if you have someone with you even more shots possible.

A great stop if you love street art, butterflies or looking for something free and fun to do!

There are two lakes at Fairmount Park and you can find these giant balls at the bigger lake (Lake Evans). I think this is a great thing for the city of Riverside. Bringing the community together through art. They had students from the Riverside Unified School District Help paint these floating balls. It looks so much better in person! A few notes: * Street Parking near neighborhood available, just a short walking distance. * There are other parking spots but limited. * Make it an all-afternoon event with your kids.. bring lawn chairs or walking shoes to walk around the lake * Bring your camera * Be careful of the uneven terrain near the edge of the lake! You won't want to miss this display because it's only available until June 1, 2018!

We had such a fun time at Redlands Public Market! My husband and I came out for a date night, and…read moreit was my first time there. It totally gave me Packing House District in Anaheim vibes, lively, welcoming, and full of options. There are so many different places to eat, plus a bar, so you can really pick whatever you're craving. The night we went, they were hosting trivia, which made it even more fun. We ended up joining in and had the best time. The whole place just has a really good vibe. Prices were reasonable (what you'd expect anywhere similar), and there's something for everyone. We ended up eating at Cornerstone Barbecue and it was delicious! I highly recommend coming here with friends or for a date night. It was such a great experience, and we'll definitely be back.

Similar to San Diego's Liberty Public Market but with fewer restaurant selections which isn't a bad thing. We arrived around 11a on a Sunday and easily found parking. There wasn't a crowd but things definitely picked up around noon. The Public Market included a variety of restaurant stalls from bbq, chicken sandwiches, sushi, ramen, Mediterranean, Filipino cafes, etc. They also had a little arcade corner with claw machines for some fun! I ordered a banana matcha with crystal boba, oatmilk and light ice, from Tsoko Cafe, one of the Filipino cafes I mentioned. It was amazing and did not disappoint. There was plenty of seating but definitely filled up quickly. Get there before noon if you're aiming to grab seats and avoid large crowds. Would go again!

In between 3/4 stars…read more first time at this event.. The event runs down between Magnolia and Jackson street. If you can't find parkings on sidewalk, you can park in the church's parking lot which is located literally next to the event. The church charges $5 per car. Upon entering the event, you will see around 15-25 American classic cars. After passing the classic cars, you will see vendors and food booths. Although this event is known for their chili, I didn't expect to try any.However, I did try this booth that serves hot dogs and fries. I ordered carne fries that cost $8. The amount given was "okay". The amount of meat was "okay".. Wouldn't have gotten it if I knew how much they put in it. And frites were pretty darn hard. Overall, wouldn't recommend it and was not worth the money. Food booths seem to repeat, not much to try. There is also a live stage of "mr. Elvis" singing.. And a mini live farm that includes pigs; chicken, yak, and goats. Overall, this is a pretty small event, would probably visit again next year.. Who knows P.s. Show up early if you want some homemade chili because by the time I showed up, they were all sold out

It's a small event but draws a lot of people. You might find limited street parking near the event but I recommend paying the $5 and park at St. Thomas Church, they're on Jackson at the entrance of the event and your $5 goes to a good cause. There are probably less than 100 classic/custom vehicles on display and they do not cruise at this event. This year they had two music stages with bands playing oldies and 80's music and a surprise visit from the King himself, Elvis. Of course you'll find the typical vendor booths with everything from arts and crafts to Solar Panels. I try to eat kinda healthy but who can resist bacon wrapped deliciousness or deep fried anything? Yes, I'm talking street food vendors. Kebabs, tacos, dogs, shaved ice and waffles. mmmm! Then there's the Chili Cook-Off part of this event. You pay a couple bucks and you get to sample some of the different chilis and salsas and choose your favorite. If you plan on tasting the chili I suggest getting there early before they run out. I look forward to this event every year. I love the old and historic buildings in this part of town and the often passed-by business' that are part of the Arlington area. By far, this isn't Riverside's biggest car show but it's my favorite. I support this event because they do I nice job bringing a lot of people to the Arlington area of Riverside and that's why they get 5 Stars!.
