All of your beverages will be in the same area including merchandise and 50/50 tickets!! We will still be accepting cash and card and of course your old ROR tickets for this summer at least!

Time to turn it up one last time for our last show of the summer! Our opener (Kick) and headliner (Decoy) take the stage from 5:30-10PM tonight to close out our 2025 Rendezvous On Riverview free concert series.

The only rule we ask you to follow is WE DON’T ALLOW ANY OUTSIDE FOOD OR BEVERAGE! We have plenty of vendors inside the park to ensure your are hydrated with your choice of beverage and more than enough food choices from our food truck lineup to ensure you are are well fed. Please be respectful and support our local vendors and businesses!:)

In regards to parking, there is limited parking outside the Riverview Park entrance. There is also parking available at and around North High School where you can park and take the Des Moines Public Schools shuttle over to and back from the Riverview Park entrance.

Let’s finish this year’s ROR out with a summer party nobody will forget!
