Host Your Own Event

Make your next private party an event to remember by reserving space at the River Common! The River Common has over a quarter mile of unique site locations that can be reserved for private functions of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s a birthday party, a wedding ceremony or a corporate retreat, our riverfront park is the perfect place to host your next special event.

We guarantee that you will be impressed with our multiple flowering gardens, our expansive park pathways (handicapped accessible) and our award winning site accommodations. From the Sordoni Circle (100 standing capacity), to the seated amphitheater (750 seated capacity), to the grand landing (7,000 standing capacity), our riverfront is designed to accommodate your vision.
