Recap of the 2025 River Cities Festival

The 2025 River Cities Festival was shorter, but blessed with great weather and a great crowd.

Live Music

The traditional three day festival was shortened to a two day affair.  But it was still a lot of fun for all that attended.

Of course, the festival is anchored by the live musical performances by a variety of great artists.

Some stood to watch the performances.  While other brought their portable chairs for a comfortable view from the Circle grounds.

And the family friendly crowd enjoyed everything from country music to classic rock.

Food and Drinks

As expected, the Festival brought in a variety of food vendors along with artists and vendors of various wares.

The crowd enjoyed a variety of drinks, treats, deep fried, and grilled options.

Kids’ World

The traditional kids rides were not present, but they still had a variety of bounce houses and mega slides to enjoy.

We loved the idea of an evening car show.  It was far cooler to enjoy the cars with an evening breeze.

Miami Springs Senior High MEGA Reunion

Saturday Night was also home to the annual Miami Springs Senior High MEGA Reunion.

And the school had official Miami Springs Senior High merchandise on hand for sale.

Your thoughts!

What did you think of this year’s River Cities Festival?  Every Festival, no matter how good or bad, no matter how big or small, has always had critics.  And that’s okay.  It’s important to get feedback to improve and make things better.  And while this year’s festival was truncated, next year’s festival promises to be an extraordinary event as the City of Miami Springs celebrates its 100 year anniversary.

If you would like to see the greatest festival ever, it’s important for you to get involved now.  The festival is organized and run mostly by volunteers.  It is truly a community effort and a reflection upon our community’s involvement.

Now’s the time to begin preparing and planning on participating in the 2026 River Cities Festival which promises to be the biggest, brightest, and most beautiful Festival we’ve ever had.
