Leicester Riverside Festival Guide

Leicester’s Riverside Festival kicks off this weekend with music, art, and family fun along the River Soar — but expect road closures and parking challenges. Key streets like Western Boulevard and Mill Lane shut down Saturday to Sunday for safety, so plan your route. Free bike parking and scenic river walks await, while limited street parking means head to city centre car parks. Accessibility is top priority: calm zones, sign language support, accessible narrowboat trips, and Leicester Wheels for All offers adaptive bikes and bike taxis. Councillor Vi Dempster calls it a citywide celebration — free, inclusive, and packed with community spirit. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
