As one of Riverside’s premier events, Ghost Walk Riverside has a rich history and legacy for delighting audiences of all ages. Ghost Walk Riverside has earned the esteemed reputation for attracting artists from various areas, making a truly exceptional collaboration.

Encore expanded to Riverside in 2015 with the mission to provide a “creative, challenging, and nurturing environment that offers secondary students with the innovative preparation for a university education and pursuit of the arts”. We are pleased to team with Encore for this year’s commemorative celebration, as it opens its facilities and provides talents to host the “Fear Tour”.
