🎪 As the final day of the Riverside Festival wraps up soon, it’s been a joy to see the River Soar buzzing with energy once again!
What began back in 1997 as a small community event along Bede Island has grown into one of Leicester’s biggest free festivals, now attracting tens of thousands of visitors each year.

The festival has come a long way — now stretching across Bede Park, Western Boulevard, Castle Gardens, the riverside, and even De Montfort University’s campus.
From narrowboat trips, boat races to live music, arts market and food stalls, it’s been a true celebration of Leicester’s culture and creativity.

Thank you to the fantastic crowds, dedicated event staff, and our amazing community for making Riverside Festival 2025 a weekend to remember! 👏
