The Tampa Riverwalk was once again nominated as one of America’s Best Riverwalks in the USA Today’s 10Best Reader’s Choice Travel Awards. This year, it placed 4th in voting. The top 5 Riverwalks after weeks of voting are:
- Smale Riverfront Park, Cincinnati, OH

“Securing the title of America’s Best Riverwalk would spotlight Tampa’s vibrant community and our iconic Riverwalk’s contribution to the city and region on a national scale,” write representatives with Friends of the Tampa Riverwalk in a press release. “More than 1 million visitors each year experience the Tampa Riverwalk’s 2.6-mile multi-use path.”

It’s number 4 in voting, but it’s number one in our heart.
The Riverwalk recently took home 9th place for Best Holiday Display, and continues to be a huge tourism driver, as well as a preferred pedestrian path for downtown residents.
Our Riverwalk extends from Armature Works (1910 N Ola Ave) to Sparkman Wharf (615 Channelside Dr). You can Sip and Stroll on the Riverwalk with special cups, and you organizers are also readying for the huge Riverfest along the Riverwalk. That two-day celebration will include two different food festivals.
