Riverfront Christmas-Heated pool-Festive Strolls

Holidays by the Riverfront mean evening strolls surrounded by the sights and sounds of Christmas, all set to the calming rhythm of the water. Enjoy waterfront dining, discover unique gifts in our local boutiques, or take in the festive atmosphere. Saturday mornings buy fresh, local crafts and produce at the downtown market. Back home, unwind on the porches, take a dip in the heated pool, or spend quality time with family and friends in our beautiful, welcoming space. Make memories that last.
