We continually receive and answer a lot of questions regarding the River Rhythms shows either on Facebook, in FB Messenger or via email.
So we decided to take the ones that are asked the most and place the answers here.
Hopefully this gets you the answers you're looking for sooner. But if you have a question that's not answered here, certainly reach out.

Parking isn't ideal and it's mostly street parking. The earlier you arrive, the closer you'll be. There's a small municipal lot across the river and another lot in 10 Club Park.
No dogs on the grass in the park (Village ordinance). Dogs are allowed on the asphalt areas - just not in the park lawn.
If we need to cancel due to weather, we usually decide by early afternoon. We'll post updates on our website and Facebook, and we also notify Village Hall. If the forecast is "iffy," we usually go ahead and take our chances.
