Which annual festivals take place along the riverfront?
Montgomery’s annual riverfront events include the Dragon Boat Festival, Riverbend Brew Fest and Riverwalk Wine Festival, though their dates and programming can change each year. The city describes the Dragon Boat Festival as a day of dragon boat races on the river, with activities for spectators along the riverfront.
Riverfront Park provides access to the Alabama River and hosts concerts, festivals and community events throughout the year. Its location near downtown museums, historic sites, restaurants and entertainment makes it possible to combine an event with time in the surrounding area, including a visit to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.
For event planning, treat annual listings as a guide to the kinds of gatherings that return, not as a guarantee of a particular date or program. Check with the event organizer before booking around one.
What can you combine with a summer visit to Riverfront Park?
Riverfront Park gives you access to the Alabama River, while DABOS Park is nearby and is where the Montgomery Biscuits play. The visitor bureau also notes river cruises in the area, so you can look into combining a game or park event with time on the river.
Days Inn by Wyndham Montgomery I-85 is about 9 minutes by car from Montgomery city centre. Check venue routes and event dates as you plan your trip, since a park’s year-round event calendar does not mean a specific event takes place on a fixed date.
How should you plan around fall and winter events?
For fall and winter planning, confirm the event schedule directly with its organizer rather than relying on a past listing. The recurring riverfront festivals provide a useful starting point for checking the calendar, but the dates and programs can change year to year.
