Downtown Riverhead will come alive once again.
The full slate of popular downtown events Alive on 25, the Cardboard Boat Race, Halloween parade and coffin races, among others are coming back this year, officials say.
With state-imposed restrictions on crowd sizes being eliminated, the Riverhead Town Board on Wednesday voted to approve all the downtown events planned by the Business Improvement District Management Association.
Almost all of the BID’s proposed events were canceled last year due to COVID-19 restrictions.
First up this year will be the return of Alive on 25 on July 1, an event that coincides with a fireworks show. The popular Alive on 25 closes downtown Main Street, features live music and vendors selling food and merchandise in the street.
