“In creating the
Riverside Music Sessions, RiverCenter plans to reintroduce live music in the
parks in a socially-distant and safe environment,” RiverCenter Executive
Director Laura Kirkpatrick said. “We are working with the Borough of Red Bank
and our event producer, Rue Events, to be in compliance with all current state
and local guidelines now and on event day.”
Concert goers will
be required wear masks as they enter the park and are escorted to their
assigned, physically distanced seats, and unless they are enjoying food and
beverages. Chairs will be provided and cleaned between sessions; no outside
chairs will be allowed. No outside food or beverages allowed. Additional safety
precautions are listed with the ticket purchase. Other safeguards may be
announced on or before the event day.
“RiverCenter is
also looking to recoup some of the revenue lost when we had to cancelled both
of our 2020 music and food festivals as a result of COVID-19,” Kirkpatrick
added. “The two festivals help defray the extremely popular and successful
holiday lights display that lights up the Red Bank business district from the
night after Thanksgiving until the new year.”
Concert goers will
receive a goodie bag with snacks, and a list of restaurants offering discounts
the day of the performance.
“RiverCenter is
excited to have this opportunity to welcome more people back to Red Bank and to
demonstrate our responsiveness to their desire to be entertained while still
feeling safe,” Stephen
Catania,
RiverCenter Chairman and owner of the Cheese Cave said. “We are equally
thrilled to be giving some great artists an opportunity to get back to playing
in front of a live audience and earn some money.”
The Riverside
Music Sessions are being presented by the Asbury Park Press and produced by Rue
Events (Really Unbelievable Events). The event is a project of Red Bank
RiverCenter.
