Tampa Riverwalk
The Tampa Riverwalk is a path along the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa, built out in stages since a wooden-plank walkway first went in at Curtis Hixon Park in 1976. For Tampa Riverfest, downtown parking options include several lots, the Tampa Convention Center garage, the Poe Garage, and on-street spaces, depending on which route you drive in from.
