Participants are invited to come in costume of their favorite sci-fi character. Another option is to  watch the costume contest finals at 2 pm on the River Stage.

"The Skyway will be running free all day long, we suspect it's a close relative of R2-D2" said Bennett. 

The event takes play on Saturday May 4th, which also falls on Sci-Fi Weekend at MOSH which is just a short Water Taxi ride away!

"Special booth spaces are available for collectibles vendors, comic book stores and other businesses and organizations of interest to sci-fi enthusiasts.

This is a family friendly event and just another reason to come out and support the Riverside Arts Market on Community First Saturday" said Bennett.
