Located in historic downtown Antioch, the Rivertown business district is settled along the San Joaquin River at the entrance to the California Delta.

From boutique shops like G St. Mercantile and Bella’s Vintage House, to restaurants like Southern Café and Solid Rock Café, Rivertown is a beautiful place to enjoy an afternoon.

Rivertown is home to many businesses and services like Twin Rivers Insurance at the marina, and Prime Vintage Realty – located in the historic Antioch Lumber Co. building – all of which are within a short walking       distance from each other.

Rivertown has a number of fun activities for the entire family; the marina is a great place to take a kayak tour, or to fish from the pier, the Dow Wetlands Preserve’s 472 acres provides lovely trails with wildlife-viewing opportunities, and the historic El Campanil Theatre is sure to have a show you’ll enjoy.

Looking to attend an event? The Rivertown merchants host a variety of community events throughout the year! Visit https://antiochchamber.com/2020antiochrivertownevents/ to see a list of all of the upcoming events.

We’re sure you’ll fall in love with the charm of this historical part of Antioch.
