The importance of the River Cities Festival can’t be overstated. For more than 50 years, it’s been the event that brings the entire Miami Springs community together. Year after year, families, friends, and neighbors have gathered to laugh, dance, eat, and celebrate the heart of our city. It’s a tradition rooted in love, pride, and togetherness.
