The Riverside Dickens Festival will return next month, but at a new venue, featuring a range of entertainment that will convert a public space in downtown Riverside into Victorian-era London ...

The student gaming hub, which can hold nearly 400 guests during a contest, was created by the Riverside County Office of Education in its former conference center on 12th Street in downtown Riverside.

Also open in downtown Riverside is Dapper Dine and Lounge. The new restaurant is at 3203 Mission Inn Ave., the former home of Sam’s Bann Thai (and before that, Mi Tortilla Mexican Grill).
