RIVERVIEW — The city is using Saturday’s Cruisin’ Downriver as
the centerpiece of Riverview Familyfest 2003, sandwiching it between a wide
variety of attractions Friday and Sunday in Young Patriots Park.
At 7:30 p.m. Friday, come to the park for a free twilight
concert by oldies legend the Diamonds as the band officially opens cruise
festivities.
Afterward, stay for the city’s annual holiday fireworks show at
10 p.m.
On Sunday, the park will be hopping from not long after dawn
until way past dusk, beginning with the All-American Fishing Derby from 9 to 11
a.m.
It will be followed by the T-ball parade and opening day, the
third annual In-line Tournament finals, free kids’ carnival games, carnival
rides, paddleboat rides, vendors, crafters and free bicycle registration,
winding up with movies in the park at dusk.

Department at 1-734-281-4263.
If golf’s your game, residents can play free all day Sunday at
Riverview Highlands Golf Course. Tee times required. Call 1-734-479-2266.
