- Riverside-San Bernardino, CA (1888PressRelease) April 14, 2011 - Spring flowers are in bloom and downtown Riverside is bustling with activity. On Saturday, April 16 peruse the Farmer's Market fresh produce from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., pay tribute to our American soldiers at the Veterans Parade from 10 a.m. to Noon, than stay for Riverside Downtown Partnership's (RDP) Easter Egg-Stravaganza from Noon to 4 p.m.
Downtown Riverside Easter Egg-Stravaganza will feature three blocks of festivities the entire family will enjoy along Main Street from University to 5th Street and surrounding area. The event is free and open to the public.
The weather is expected to be hot this Saturday so attendees can cool off by visiting the Water Wars booth at the fountain on Main between Mission Inn and University for a fun water balloon toss game. There will be three face painting stations: Art Works on 6th Street, Manhattan's Salon and Spa, and the RDP Booth near the Mission Inn Museum. Festive live entertainment featuring a popular local Hawaiian music group will take place in front of Bella Trattoria on Main at Sixth Street. Children can enjoy storytelling on the grassy knolls next to Downtowne Bookstore. In addition, there will be a host of craft activities taking place throughout the event including DragonMarsh at 3643 University Ave., Curves on Main, Easter Egg decorating at Gram's Mission Barbecue and Art Works, cookie decorating at Galleria Café and artisan vendors at Mission Galleria. Get an animal portrait of your pet at Paw-traits booth located in front of Parrott on Main at Sixth Street.
And of course, what would an Easter celebration be without a visit from the Easter Bunny? Photo opportunities are available with the Easter Bunny at Chase Photography booth located on Main between Sixth and Fifth streets. There will also be a second bunny at Mrs. Tiggy-Winkles located at 3675 Main St. Cotton candy and other goodies will be available at Antonious Pizza on Main between University and Mission Inn, or visit any one of the downtown restaurants to grab a quick bite.
Hop around to participating downtown businesses for an opportunity to win cool prizes. You never know what you may win… a gift certificate, free lunch, or even jewelry! The contest rules are as follows; there will be one egg containing a winning prize at each bunny stop (participating business) which qualifies that lucky person to register for the grand prize. Fill out an entry form and hop on over to the RDP Booth for a chance at winning the special 'Golden Egg' grand prize. You must be present to win and the contest winner will be announced at 4 p.m. There will be a chance to win an additional grand prize for all participants even if you are not the lucky 'Golden Egg' winner.
