Long overlooked, Riverside Airport is emerging as a hub for innovation, education and community—offering a powerful runway for the city’s future growth.
Summer nights just got better in Riverside as the beloved “Summer Concerts in the Park” series returns to Fairmount Park starting Wednesday, June 11. The free, family-friendly event has become a cherished community tradition, drawing crowds of Riversiders who come to dance, sing and celebrate under the sunset.
The City of Riverside Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department presents six themed concerts running every Wednesday from 6 to 9 p.m. through July 23, with the exception of July 2:
June 11 | Stone Soul (Motown tribute)
June 18 | Suave the Band (R&B, Latin, oldies)
June 25 | Generation 80's Band (Ultimate ’80s tribute)
July 9 | Sonora De Los Angeles (Cumbia, rock en español, salsa)
July 16 | The Dreamboats (’50s and ’60s)
July 23 | B.I.G (R&B and old school)
The concerts feature more than just music. Local food vendors offer a taste of Riverside’s culinary scene, while the Riverside Community Services Foundation hosts a beer garden. The Altura Power Hour, sponsored by Altura Credit Union, adds extra entertainment value.
“Bring a blanket or beach chair to enjoy an evening at Fairmount Park,” organizers recommend. The park, located at 2601 Fairmount Blvd., fills with families dancing and singing along, creating the kind of shared community experience that defines summer in Riverside.
