Miami’s “
Working
River
.” Miami Riverday features free riverboat tours, water taxis, live
music, environmental education, river restaurant food vendors, children
activities and much more.
Last
year’s event attracted over 5,000 residents, tourists and students to
Miami
’s Little Havana community and featured an array of fun-filled events
from rock climbing, face painting and stilt walkers to folk art
demonstrations and historical re-enactments.
“Miami
Riverday provides a free opportunity for the public to
witness first hand the river’s continuing renaissance,” said Miami
River Commission Managing Director Brett Bibeau. “The
Miami River
is the birth place of the City of Miami, and the fact that it is the fourth largest port in the state with over
12,000 new residential units on the rise, proves that is also on the
brink of Miami’s exciting future. We hope that residents and tourists alike will
join us in the tenth annual celebration of the
Miami River’s multicultural corridor where residents live, work and play.”
