Events
Our community comes together throughout the year through events and experiences that celebrate RPDS and strengthen our connections. From Capers to Run Riverside, these traditions bring families, alumni, friends, and businesses together while supporting the School and its students.
Fall Festival
Join us for a festive autumn evening at the annual RPDS Fall Festival, presented by Haskell! Families are invited to enjoy an evening filled with seasonal fun, laughter, and community spirit. This year’s event will feature a rock wall, petting zoo, silent disco, putt putt, food trucks, and much more!
The Fall Festival is a wonderful opportunity for RPDS families to come together and celebrate the season on our beautiful Riverside campus. Bring your family, your appetite, and your sense of adventure—there’s something for everyone and all ages to enjoy!
Admission is free for all RPDS families. We can’t wait to see you there!
