It reads oddly. The page shows a midnight start finishing at two in the morning, which would mean arriving after the countdown rather than before it.
What is missing from the Riverside calendar?
The June Pride slot, which is the only national date absent. Eight remain, and the Mission Inn's lighting season overlaps two of them.
Which Riverside district hosts the crawls?
Downtown around the Mission Inn and the pedestrian mall, which is the only walkable bar cluster in an otherwise thoroughly car-shaped Inland Empire city.
Is the Festival of Lights a factor?
Considerably. The Mission Inn switches on a display of millions of lights around Thanksgiving, which fills downtown Riverside right through the December dates.
Does UC Riverside matter?
Somewhat. The campus sits southeast of downtown, so term time adds students, though the pedestrian mall runs largely on residents.
How hot are Riverside summers?
Severely. The Inland Empire runs hotter than the coast by a wide margin, and the July slot starting at five is genuinely uncomfortable.
Is the Riverside pedestrian mall walkable?
Yes. The pedestrian mall and the blocks around it keep venues close together, which is unusual for the Inland Empire.
How does Riverside compare with San Bernardino?
Both are Inland Empire hubs. Riverside carries eight dates and a walkable downtown; San Bernardino's hub lists nothing at all.
