Review of Outdoor Summer Concerts at the Jeffersonville Riverstage

PhotobucketOn Fridays, from the end of May until the first weekend in September, the Jeffersonville Riverstage hosts a summer concert series called Rolling Out the Weekend.  My family and I went this past weekend and had a fantastic time!

PhotobucketRegardless of the music genre scheduled for the evening, this is a wonderful family-friendly venue and if the weather’s just right, not much can beat it on a Friday night in Kentuckiana.  This past Friday when we went, the weather was perfect, the sun was setting and the kids were all playing, I felt like I found just the right place for summer family fun.

Bring lawn chairs, blankets and some snacks and beverages.  The are is fenced off so all of the kids were running about and playing!  They had food vendor serving up beverages (beer and non-alcoholic), treats, snacks and grill items.  The prices were reasonable.  During the event, people are driving their boats about on the river and my kids really enjoyed checking those out!  During breaks in the show, event staff threw out prizes to the crowd and all of the kids went running to get in on the fun.

This is a “must do” summer activity for residents of Southern Indiana and Louisville alike.  Whether it’s for a date night, an evening out with friends or a family outing, there is something for everyone!
