Riverside Music Series - Mackenzie Carpenter with Kevin Daniel

The Riverside Music Series returns to Mayo Park this July and August with five weeks of free Sunday night concerts along the riverfront. For more than 30 years, Riverside has been a Rochester summer tradition, bringing the community together for evenings filled with music, food and connection.

This summer’s lineup brings a wide range of artists and energy to the stage, continuing a tradition of free concerts that turn Mayo Park into a place where people come together—for music, for food and for summer nights that feel like Rochester at its best.

Whether you’ve been coming for years or you’re brand new to Riverside, there’s a spot in the park waiting for you. Bring a chair or blanket, come early for food trucks and settle in for the kind of live music that makes summer feel like summer.
