BZP Riverside: Downtown Walking Moai with Erin Edwards

If you've ever met Erin Edwards, you already know two things: she loves Riverside deeply, and her laugh is absolutely contagious. As a former City Council Member for Ward One and now Executive Director of Blue Zones Project Riverside, Erin has spent years showing up for this community, and now she's inviting you to show up with her.

Join the Blue Zones Project Downtown Walking Moai with Erin Edwards, a 10-week early morning experience where community leaders, neighbors, and newcomers come together to move, connect, and see Riverside through fresh eyes. This isn't just a walk. It's a conversation, a connection, and a front-row seat to one of the most beautiful downtowns in Southern California, guided by someone who knows and loves every corner of it.

Inspired by the Okinawan tradition of Moai, the lifelong social circles behind some of the world's longest-living communities, this group is built on one simple truth: the best things in life happen when we move through them together.

Whether you're a longtime Riverside resident or still discovering what this city has to offer, you'll leave every Tuesday morning feeling energized, inspired, and a little bit lighter, and if you're lucky, you'll catch Erin's laugh echoing down Mission Inn Avenue.
