4. Spring Splash
With food trucks, beer garden (21+), rides, good friends and good music what’s not to be pleased with on Saturday May 4th? Walk the Moon and AB Soul are currently named as performers, with two more to drop Monday April 22nd. So pick up your tickets and enjoy the warm weather concert before finals hit us!
5. Attend a Riverside Arts Walk
A personal favorite, Riverside Arts Walk is a massive outdoor exhibit/market/performance. Performers, artists and vendors set up curbside around the blocks in downtown, with several museums and exhibits open their doors. On May 2nd downtown will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo, which promises colorful performances, mariachi music and with Tio’s Tacos around the corner, why not make it a Taco Thursday?

The UCR Museum of Photography, located in downtown Riverside often partners with UCR professors and students to bring exhibits, films and performances. This quarter they will be showcasing the academy award nominated Amour, among other performances that are well worth a look!
