Waltham RiverBeat

Celebrate the energy, creativity, and community of downtown Waltham at RiverBeat. Taking place along the picturesque Charles River and the historic Moody Street Bridge, this festival brings together local art, music, and on-the-water activities. Stop by to grab lunch from multicultural food vendors, shop a curated marketplace of local makers, catch live bands across two stages, or watch the canoe races out on the river. RiverBeat draws a fantastic mix of outdoor enthusiasts, music fans, and supporters of the local maker scene. The layout encourages mingling—you can easily strike up a conversation with fellow music lovers by the stages or bond with nature enthusiasts while cheering on the canoe races.

Parking: Moody Street will be closed to vehicle traffic for the festival. Your best bets are the public municipal lots just off the main drag, such as the Embassy Public Parking Facility (behind the Embassy Cinema off Pine St), the Central Square Parking Deck (on Water St), or the Spruce Street parking lot.

I'll post my location once I'm there so we can meet up!
