What an incredible music venue! A true hidden gem of the suburbs! Parking was free and entry was a breeze! The flow of the venue is really great too, you can see the stage from just about anywhere! I went for the first post-COVID opening night show with the legendary REO Speedwagon and could not have been more pleased with the venue choice and unforgettable atmosphere. The local food trucks on hand offer a variety of food from the usual snacks to fresh bbq and more. Oh and the domestic 16oz cans priced at only $6 , with a nice list of quality cocktails and liquor priced equally as impressive for a concert venue! Being used to paying stadium and Chicago venue alcohol prices, the very fair drink prices at RiverEdge Park was a great added benefit. The sound, lighting, and staging are brand new and state of the art. The sound carried well through the venue from the back to the very front standing room only section I was in. REO put on a stellar performance and it was only fitting to have their first live show in over a year be right here in their home state of Illinois! For being the first night back to live concerts the venue, parking and security staff were on point all night and very friendly. I absolutely will attend many more concerts at RiverEdge. Make sure you take a walk across the brand new massive pedestrian bridge for spectacular views of the venue.
