Riverside Downtown Partnership

For those who missed it, Saturday April 11th was the kick-off event for the new “Downtown Street Jam” in Riverside, a free concert series sponsored by the city and local downtown establishments, including Lake Alice Trading Co. and Mission Tobacco Lounge.
Yesterday’s event drew several hundred fans to a temporary stage located at Ninth and Orange streets to see local acts, including well-known, homegrown Riverside bands, The Debonaires, The Skeletones and Voodoo Glow Skulls.
The free concert series will take place at Ninth and Orange streets from 2 p.m. – 9 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month for at least the next several months. A mixture of bands and musical genres are planned in hopes of attracting all ages and various tastes (and ears). June’s concert is expected to have some Jazz on the set list.
May 9th and June 13th are the next scheduled dates. So, mark your calendars!
