Celebrate autumn at the 10th Annual Riverwalk Fall Festival, happening Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Esplanade Park in Downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Guests will enjoy curated food trucks and local vendors as well as entertainment and a lively atmosphere along the scenic New River.
Hosted by Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale, this free admission, family-friendly festival attracts more than 2,000 attendees each year and helps support Riverwalk’s mission of “nurturing Riverwalk and the Riverwalk District as a vibrant community connected by the New River.”
