How to Prepare for the River Sounds Summer Concert Series

To ensure you have the absolute best experience at the park, we have put together a quick checklist of things to bring and keep in mind:

• Seating: Seating is not provided, so be sure to bring your favorite lawn chairs, premium pop-up canopies, or a large, comfortable picnic blanket.
• Arrival Time: While the music kicks off officially at 6:30 PM, we highly recommend arriving by 6:00 PM to secure a prime viewing spot on the lawn and beat the food truck lines.
• Weather Updates: This is an open-air outdoor event. In the case of severe inclement weather, real-time safety updates and cancellation notices will be posted directly on the official National Weather Service regional broadcast page.
