Beautiful, clean park, fun, affordable and family friendly concerts offered throughout the warm weather months. Located right on the Fox River in downtown Aurora within shouting distance from the Hollywood Casino, and across from the Metra. Plenty of available free and low-cost parking within close walking distance to the park. Food and drinks catered in to each event by local establishments.

Nice ️ outside music venue on the river, just north of Downtown & Hollywood Casino. Saved me money , because Beer selection is Budweiser ONLY.NO MILLER. . Would be great to have a choice other than Bud.. Food selection of food in pavillion has a wide selection of items. Outside food and product vendors are reasonably priced. Soft Serve ice cream was a big hit.

Saw The Mavericks there tonight; had to surrender 4 cans of Polar seltzer water because the TSA there claimed they were flavored. If you have a watercraft, scoot up near the shore on their west side and hear the show for free. These guys did it!

I love RiverEdge!! The workers there are so nice!!! When I was around 11 I went to a Weird Al concert there and the security guard talked to Weird Al about getting me and my friend a autograph of him. He told me we were the only ones to get it!! They are so nice and very welcoming. There’s good food for not that much money and the performers are great!! Also, there usually aren’t as many people there so it’s easier to find your seat. Also, there all always police officers on the watch to make sure everything is ok which makes me feel better about going there with friends. The parking situation with concert are usually very annoying but at RiverEdge it’s a lot easier and not as busy. And the park is a beautiful place especially by the river. I suggest seeing Get The Led our i always have fun with that even though I’m still very young!! Overall, RiverEdge is a great place!!

What a great place to see a concert. I was so pleased we were allowed a small cooler with water and some food. There is plenty there to eat and drink if you dont feel like packing one. Great sound easy parking and a beautiful location.

Absolutely love this venue! Although they made significant changes in the reserved seating area it wasnt horrible with finding a good spot in the general admission area. The management team was on their game and were very helpful. My son left behind his wallet in the security check and moments later realized it was gone! We went back and recovered it with the money still in the wallet! Awesome job with the security staff! Very professional. I wouldve suggested they have more food trucks and entertainment options for people because you were just kinda waiting around for the band to start for a couple hours and it did get very boring just sitting there with nothing to do. Overall it was a fun experience for all!

This was my 1st time visiting this place even though I only live 8 miles away. Parking right across the street for just a few dollars & literally walking across the street & into RiverEdge Park was quick & perfect. As we entered we were screened to make sure that there would be no trouble at this area & it was a good feeling to move on quickly. As we walked in there was a small line to receive wrist bands for alcohol consumption. It took less than 2 mins & we were on our way to the Beer Stop. Short line & we had a cold brew in hand. As we walked toward the venue we were greeted by a warm smile & a willing to show us where our reserved seating could be found. We found our seats in less than 5 minutes, we were ready for the show to start. The acoustics sounds & closeness & friendliness makes this guy want to come more often. It was a perfect night for a few beers & a Live Band playing yesterdays music that this guy grew up listening to. Again, the distance & the sound for a more than reasonable fee was well worth the admission price. The seating was comfortable, but who can sit down when your pumped up for the show. My Only complaint,,I wanted more. It started at 8pm, even though doors opened at 6 ,,, but by 10 it was over. Still,, worth the money. Ill see you guys there!

Was there to see the group American English perform...they are a Beetles tribute band. The last time that I had been at the park...a few years ago....there were bleachers that didnt face the stage and an open area near the stage...park visitors could bring folding chairs to sit in front of the stage. The park at that time also refused to let anyone bring in water or snacks. This time when I went, I was pleasantly surprised to find matinee style,permanent seating in front of the stage and no more bleachers...visitors, this time were also allowed to bring a small, collapsible cooler with drinks...just these few changes made the experience so much more pleasant...plus the park has security personnel to make sure the venue is orderly...parking is available across from the park, in the transportation center parking lot...a $2.00 charge is all that is needed to have a great place to park while at an event...very nice

First time Ive attended a show here. Easy to get to. Convenient parking at the train station across the street. Finally, within a short walk of Two Brothers Roundhouse, so an excellent way to round out whatever show you take in.

Every single aspect of this experience was top of the line. RiverEdge Park is a gem in the western suburbs. OneRepublic rocked this city and was one of the best live music experiences I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this venue for live music!

Its a beautiful location for any show. The drinks and food are accessible in any direction. The staff were very happy to help you find your seating or taking a photo of your group. Also restrooms and the porta potties are very close by so you are able to return to your seat very quickly. Without missing much of your event.

Lovely venue. Get there early if you want cheap parking at the Aurora Transportation Center, otherwise pay 10 bucks (yes 10 bucks) at the Broadway street lot 2 blocks away. Seated area is generous. Center section has padded seats with cup holdersGood sightlines everywhere and great sound.

Park was very nice. Staff was wonderful. Only complaint is the parking is horrible. Nothing was marked and no one to direct. Parking lot across street had 2 sections for daily and the rest was for monthly parking so we ended up parking a half mile down the road. After the concert everyone was leaving the monthly parking area which we didnt know if we could park in and it was empty earlier when we got there. There should be parking attendants there for concerts. People were lined up at little machine in parking lot. Parking should be clearly marked or explained in rules online site.

The park is great and all but I cant feel it is a bunch of wasted potential. We have a pretty solid venue being wasted with cover bands. The city should invest in bringing better acts into town.

Wish theyd told us you could not sit in the permanent seating area if you brought a backpack chair. I was not about to leave it in an unsecured area, per their suggestion. Whos to say I get my chairs back. Otherwise the evening was very good - American English

This venue is one of my favorites in Chicagoland. Beautiful view, great sound, cool breeze off the river, close parking. The food is good and there is a good variety. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is well managed and the flow of the crowd is arranged so that you dont wait long to get in or leave. Love this place.

Convenient parking, great sound system, adequate TVs for those sitting far from the stage. Plenty of restrooms from Port a pottys to flush toilets. Wide selection of foods. Not very impressed with the beer selection but thats most likely me. Average beer was around $8.00. I believe its $6.00 for 4oz of wine out of a jar.Its about the music and I repeat, the sound system did not disappoint.

What a great place to see a concert. Saw 80s on the Fox there. The Romantics, Patti Smythe, Starship, and Rick Springfield.Theyve expanded the reserved seating, putting in fairly comfortable fold down seats.They have plenty of food and beverage vendors, including food trucks.Ticket prices are reasonable.

Visited this venue for the first time last week to see Get The Led Out. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the venue. Good sight lines from the seats, drinks were reasonably priced, the sound and stage were both excellent. The only thing that needed to be improved was the parking, there doesnt seem to be enough parking for the capacity of the venue, so you have get there early or be prepared to walk a mile.

Average outdoor venue. Nothing unique. Except the parking. That is a unique experience. PARKING AT THE ATC LOT SUCKS! Plan on long wait times to pay to park. NO ATTENDENTS. NO ORGANIZATION. ALL AUTOMATED by machine or phone app. LONG WAIT TIMES to pay! Totally an unorganized, chaotic, free-for-all. The lines of people waiting to pay crossed the entire lot. In order to locate a space, you had to drive through lines of people. Yup. Drive through crowds of people. Thats how youll find a spot there. Just hope people will move out of your way! I left the lot and paid an extra $5 down the street just to avoid that mess. Good thing I left early. I would have been late for sure. Im positive many were. I recommend walking, rideshare, cab, or drop off. The parking here SUCKS! The City and Riversedge needs to do better than this. Its a problem that can be better managed. Managed safely. I cannot belive I had to drive through people to find parking. Solve this before someone gets hurt.
