Austy and I love this Theatre because it has the updated Luxury Chic Reclining Chairs and the Plaza is always so romantically well lito to help us enjoy outdoorsy decompression walks in the evening. I finally convinced Austy to invest in a Regal Membership and Chris was a fantastic Asset to help guide us through the latest Membership Sign Up process! We appreciated how the Host who greeted us kindly at the entrance directed us to the Guests Services area to get assistance on how to enroll in the Membership Program, and how Chris noticed us immediately and walked over with the appropriate pace of professional urgency to help us complete the enrollment process as quick as possible so we wouldn't miss our Movie. Chris was dressed sharp and professionally and we loved his positive and welcoming attitude as well as his latest Favorite Movie recommendation Hoppers! He also offered to help us purchase our tickets in their Computer System to help us avoid the unnecessary Booking Fee through the phone app so we really appreciated his financially savvy assists too! Oscar helped assist us load up with delicious snacks and drinks at the Concessions stand and he added so many positive and fun humorously bouncy vibes as well! I love how my Regal Membership comes with endless perks like Free Popcorn and how there is an abundance of cold and refreshing fountain sodas to pair with it like my favorite Root Beer. Sourpatch Kids has become a ritual must have for our Movie Nights as well and Regal always offers different varieties like watermelon and the traditional kids flavors to make every experience unique and adventurously fun ;0) Thank you Riverside Regal for being wonderful Hosts and creating such a happy and welcoming atmosphere for Movie Nerds to dive into our favorite Art Therapy Escapes!!

Some stalls had no toilet paper or seat covers. I passed up 3 stalls until I found a decent one. On the way out, only one dispenser had soap. I get it was a busy weekend but I've been coming here for sometime and this has always been an issue.

I love coming here every year!!! Lots on the stage to watch and better food choices. One of largest…read morefestivals thus far! Come here and walk around. Some Thing for everyone.

The entertainment was plentiful and professional. There were plenty of vendors and food purveyors. We thoroughly enjoyed Pickwick Pub night on Friday and the Royal Tea Sunday. The anticipation of an even more epic festival for 2026 is exciting. My compliments to the Riverside Dickens Festival team.

Inoculated with healthy doses of intellectualism, academics, and music, this festival is indeed a…read moredelight! Yes, there is even the small parade of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria and her court. The parade includes fine gentlemen and ladies, a chimney sweep, a properly-kilted Scotsman playing his bagpipes, and another Scotsman that has to be at least 10 feet tall. Too bad they only do it one weekend each year. You will discover well-delivered lectures by 19th Century impersonators of notable people (such as Dickens, Van Gough, Emily Dickens for starters), imaginatively anachronistic storytellers (you cannot miss the zany Professor Peanut!), poetry lovers, and a wonderful collection of musicians. The Promenade in downtown Riverside, once known as Main St., is actually no longer a street at all. Instead, you will find a broad, public walkway lined with small and medium sized storefronts, graceful shade trees, benches to stop and breathe a spell, special water features, sculptures, and entertainment. The eye-catching historic Mission Inn, a glorious testament to old California architecture, is located about a block down from this delightful activity. This is all part of a permanent Downtown City of Riverside transformation. But during the festival, the walkway is infused with food vendors and retail booths, street entertainers, and strategically positioned stages scheduled with well-organized programs, so there is never a dull moment. Very ADA compliant, you will find little something for everyone...even friendly vibes if you wish to bring the family dog. For the kids (of the human variety), there was a goat petting tent. But later, we saw their appropriately 19th Century-garbed caretakers rambling down the promenade, mingling with the crowds. There are an eclectic list of street musicians to amuse, a Punch and Judy puppet theater to captivate your inner-child, and other regularly scheduled events (indoors and out, some free, some requiring tickets). The point is, slow down, allow yourself to be distracted, and absorb the full experience. Don't feel intimidated that this is only for the artsy types; costumes are fun but not necessary to have delightful memories. So, whatever your preference, come one, come all. Best of all, with the exception of having to pay for parking (in one of several large parking structures nearby), there is no entrance fee. The festival is active during daylight hours only.
