Testimonials

This has been one of my favorite events to participate in for the past 2 years! I love the community support for artists and it is always such a well organized event - with the volunteers to help out vendors when needed and all of the attention to detail. Can't wait to participate again next year!

Great volunteer staff and great diversity of vendors.

Easy set up and take down. You were able to attract a lot of people to the event. The artist snacks very much appreciated.

This free community event is organized by the Riverside Arts Weekend, a non-profit organization comprised of a volunteer leadership, along with the support of the Village of Riverside and community businesses.
This year additional event promotions are planned thanks to a Cook County Arts grant.
