Events

Riverside's Alternative Gift Fair features vendors selling hand made crafts, with proceeds supporting non profit causes. Some of our traditional vendors are Heifer International, United Methodist handcrafts, 10,000 Villages, Glocally Connected, handmade paper flowers, Riverside Food Coop food and jams, books and cards from the Inland Communities Fellowship of Reconciliation and Soroptimist International baskets. We are adding The Guatemala Project this year, which provides clean running water to people who need it. Also new this year, ceramic bowls from Rebecca Waring-Crane, a project that relates to alleviating childhood hunger. Homemade soup, music and community will complete the fair. This is a Riverside holiday tradition! First United Methodist Church is the host, and there is plenty of free parking.
