🌎❤️ MORE THAN A FESTIVAL. AN ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR THE INLAND EMPIRE.
July 25 & 26, 2026, the International Food & Music Festival returns to Historic Downtown Riverside for its 4th Annual celebration.
While thousands come for the food, music, culture, and entertainment, the true impact goes far beyond a weekend event.
Our mission has always been to create opportunities for small businesses.
For years, we’ve worked tirelessly to help entrepreneurs launch, grow, and elevate their businesses. We’ve helped vendors gain exposure, build loyal customer bases, increase revenue, and take the next step toward their dreams.
We’ve seen businesses start under a canopy at one of our events and grow into successful brands, food trucks, storefronts, and full-time careers.
That’s the power of opportunity.
When small businesses succeed, cities succeed.
Every vendor brings customers.
Every customer supports local businesses.
Every event drives traffic into restaurants, shops, hotels, parking structures, gas stations, and businesses throughout Downtown Riverside.
The International Food & Music Festival isn’t just a celebration—it’s an investment in our local economy.
It’s proof that when a city, community, and small businesses work together, everyone wins.
For four years, we’ve proudly showcased the talent, diversity, and entrepreneurial spirit that make the Inland Empire special.
We’ve helped create opportunities.
We’ve helped create jobs.
We’ve helped create success stories.
And we’re just getting started.
