    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.

    This is a wonderful venue in Aurora! Very safe, very well done. Bring your chairs & enjoy! You can eat & have a cocktails there or bring a small soft sided cooler with snacks & water bottles allowed. Great entertainment lineup with beautiful breezes off the river! Parking across the street for $10 or across the new bridge for free. Enjoy

    It is a great music venue. This weekend it is presenting Blues on the Fox. Great artists and performances. Too bad we had perfect weather also.

    I’ll tell you what…A-town does it well. I feel so safe here. It’s clean, it close, it’s open seating. They have great sound and lighting. The ambiance of the river right there and the sun going down during the concerts (on a nice day) is really great. Also you can get a nice breeze off the river which is helpful on hot nights. There are bathroom attendants keeping them clean and letting you know if a stall opens, that was a plus because that kept the lines moving. We recently saw Buddy Guy and various blues acts and then last night we went to I Love The 90’s Tour with a ton of headliners. Tone Loc, Coolio, Color Me Bad, Rob Base, Vanilla Ice. Cops were everywhere when you arrive and leave. We all felt safe as women. They have lots of food & beer. It was a lot of fun. It rained on us all night last night and it was amazing!!!! We had a blast. The beer was cheaper than say a Cub’s game or concert in Chicago. It was $8 a beer for the bigger ones…16oz. I can’t believe we have never tried this place. Great place to see a concert.

    It's no wonder this place sells out regularly. Top notch sound and lights. Family friendly. Good food (I had the local BBQ). Plus, world class entertainment! Will definitely come back again

    Beautiful location with plenty of space to walk around, prop up your chairs and relax with a beautiful night of music. We recently saw a REO Speedwagon there and it was probably one of my favorite outdoor venues ever! They had concessions, nice bathrooms, variety of food trucks and they was plenty of places to park at the multiple Lots and the crowd was so fun. We can't wait for our next trip there!

    We went for Fiestas Patrias and had a blast. More food options would have been nice. Yet, I loved how smooth the event went. From learning about the event as they had plenty of ways to distribute the flyers, purchasing the tickets was easy, the Chek in had long lines that moved quickly. Security was on point. Food was delicious and worth the dollar amount. Space was plentiful. Entertainment was prime. Even the attendees were at their best. This is how I love to celebrate. No drama, no headaches or worry about the safety of my family. We had so much fun!

    Great venue! Standing room in the front and organized places for lawn chairs after that. Free parking in the area including on the west side of the river. Low ticket prices and reasonable drink prices too. Big live monitors for better viewing.

    The venue has good security, and the event staff are TOP NOTCH! It's all general admission, so everyone has to bring their own lawn chairs. It's just chill environment to watch a concert at. The bathrooms are clean and big (actual bathroom)! One improvement could be more food vendors!

    What a great venue to see bands. Great food and drink offerings. Easy rows for seating your camp chairs. Plenty of room for lawn seating as well. Sound system and video streaming are excellent. Clean bathrooms, easy ticketing check in and ID check. We've seen a few bands there and each time it was excellent. Truly a gem for live music in the West Suburbs. We always eat downtown Aurora before the show to support other local businesses. Parking is convenient, either across the street from the venue or on the other side of the river and just walk across the bridge directly into the venue. Can't wait to see what great music will be coming to Riveredge next season.

    Hop on the Metra BNSF line to Aurora and hop off at RiverEdge Park. So convenient! Come early and unfold your chairs for a tailgate-like atmosphere outside the gate. Amazing staff, top-notch security, plenty of concessions and just a beautiful venue to enjoy some music.

  • 5/5 Laurie A. 1 year ago on Google
    We've never been to this park/venue before, but thought it was fabulous! Nice, clean grounds. Excellent, professional, super-friendly staff. Loved how the seating area was arranged-lines painted on the ground to keep chairs lined up and kept people from taking up too much space. Standing room area near stage was great if that's the option you might want. Good choice of food trucks. Drink prices were a bit high but good selection. We will definitely return!

    Great venue. I felt like not a bad seat in the place. Amazing concert.

    My sister & I had a wonderful experience at the Christkindlemarket. There was an array of vendors to shop at and so much delicious food & drinks. We highly recommend adding this to your holiday traditions!

  • 5/5 Becky H. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to this location for the Kris Kringle market. We parked on the side of the river where we could walk over the long concrete bridge. The walk was nice and the scenery walking over the bridge was nice. We enjoyed the event more in this location than downtown Chicago because the area was large and the vendors where spread out so you were not shoulder to shoulder with other people. The bathrooms were clean, had lots of stalls and provided soap (I've been to many that the soap is empty even at the beginning of an event). Overall, great space for events, lots of parking and fenced in area for more security.

  • 5/5 Thomas B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great venue with shade trees and nice breeze coming off the Fox River. More importantly "Big Jeff" in concessions pours a better (& more carbonated) pint of Two Brothers then what I had acrossed the street at the Two Brothers Roundhouse.

  • 4/5 Claudia R. 8 months ago on Google
    I loved it here, I'm a local and this was my first time going to this park and a concert. I love how clean and organized it was. The music was fun and everyone was excited. We got a funnel cake and some alcoholic beverages. It was a good time for the location and performers. Also the staff are friendly and if it's your first time let them know they will help you.

  • 5/5 Kevin G. 6 months ago on Google
    Fun place to see an outdoor concert. Bring your own chairs and get as close to the stage as you want. Went to see Rick Springfield and he did not disappoint. The venue was able to handle a lot of people. Parking there the local area was plenty, the area was heavily policed so you felt safe. Large well cleaned bathrooms. Concessions were there plus they brought in five food trucks to add to the selection.

    The lights, the food, the shopping, the warming tent, music playing, and photo ops around every corner. It's really a magical place to visit for the holidays.

    Went to the Christmas Market to save a trip to Chicago. Were happy to have a lesser crowd and plenty of things to look at. Wife found some things to buy.

  • 5/5 Pauli U. 8 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed a Bee Gees tribute concert at RiverEdge Park in Aurora! Heard great reviews from family and friends and had to try it out for myself … WONDERFUL! Get there early to get close seats, food at the food trucks, and drinks! Support for the city! Enjoy!

  • 5/5 Mary J. 9 months ago on Google
    I had a great time here! We had general admission seats so we got there early to make sure we had a good spot. We parked across the bridge and walked a bit. We had to go through security before crossing the bridge and it was through as I would expect. Once we found a place to sit, we set up our chairs and an usher showed us how to pull them back to the marked line. It's a good system but unfortunately we had some people in our row who had hammock like chairs and they sprawled out, making it difficult to get down the row. There were plenty of places to get food and they had port a potties.and fixed bathrooms. They all were clean and the lines moved fast. Many attendants were available to help out and the drinks lines also moved quickly. It was a beautiful night, great music and friendly bunch of folks. I will go back.
