Description: Organised by Nottingham City Council, in association with local showmen, the Riverside Festival has become an important feature of the calendar. This event takes place on the banks of the River Trent on the riverside Embankment, and extends for over a quarter of a mile. The basic layout is to have organs at each end, with the commercial and charity trade stands, while separating them is a continuous line of fairground amusements, on both sides of the path, thus creating an avenue. The Saturday night always concludes with a vast fireworks display outside the County Hall in West Bridgford.
