Planning a character visit in Riverside

Picnic shelters for outdoor parties

City of Riverside picnic shelters that can be reserved are used by permit only, so you should confirm your reservation is in place before planning a costumed visit. Electricity is not available at these shelters, and the city recommends bringing a generator. If your character needs sound, a music player, or a microphone, ask the venue how you plan to power it before the day arrives.

Community centers with rooms to rent

Most of the city's community centers have meeting rooms, gymnasiums, and multi-purpose rooms available for rental, which can suit a party that needs a covered indoor space. Availability differs by building, and one center is under renovation until spring 2027, so choose a location that is open on your date. Ask which room you would be given and whether it fits the number of children you expect.

Sources for this section

Larger banquet-style rooms

Riverside has several ballroom and banquet facilities, which can work well for a larger gathering. Seating capacity ranges from about 90 guests in banquet style to around 400, depending on the location. Compare the layout with your guest list and ask whether there is space for the character to set up a performance area away from the buffet.

Questions to ask before you book

Ask the venue whether outside entertainers are permitted, and whether any restrictions apply to costumed characters. Ask what power and seating are provided, how long your reservation runs, and whether you can arrive early to set up.
