Riverwalk Market Fair: We're back! Join us this Saturday 9-1pm.  The farmers will be in their usual place, but the artists will pitch tents in Bridge Square this week since the City hasn't re-opened the lower riverwalk area. Come downtown to the riverside to celebrate the re-opening of Bridge Square and the upper riverwalk, and to support the market vendors as we resume our lives together.
