What is the Spring Fling Music Festival?
Spring Fling: The ultimate fest of feel-good vibes, killer beats, and a mission to make a difference!
Every April, Riverside Rocks hosts the greatest music festival in the Chicago suburbs, attracting 700+ fans. Since 2020, we have raised more than $215,000.00 for organizations on the front lines, fighting childhood illness.
Year after year the greatest bands in Chicagoland show up to donate their time and talent to the cause. Our sponsors continue to show their support by sharing their advertising dollars, spinning up collaborations, sharing on social media, and donating the BEST raffle items. Then there's the unsung heroes, our volunteers, working their magic behind the scenes. It's a group effort, hundreds strong, and we're all stoked to do our bit.
Every contribution has a direct and positive impact on creating awareness, supporting research, and improving treatment options for children facing the fight of their life.
So, let's make some noise for kids fighting childhood illness & disease and rock on, folks!
We are proud to support the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago the #1 children’s hospital in Illinois and the Gaucher Community Alliance as our 2025 benefiting partners!
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide continued financial support to organizations battling childhood illness, while partnering with local Riverside charities to create awareness and develop resources for families facing childhood illnesses and disease.
We do this by creating fun, safe, and entertaining events providing opportunities for local communities to support these wonderful charities.
Because kids deserve to be, well, kids.
The Team
We are a group of friends who do what we can to support organizations on the front lines, battling childhood illness & disease. With a long history of fundraising, the success and generous spirit of the Riverside community inspired us to form "Riverside Rocks."
Our goal is to expand our outreach and work closely with local charities to create awareness and to raise funds for amazing causes. The fantastic support of our inaugural event, the 2020 Halloween Walk, showed us what community can do if we work together. We hope you will continue to support Riverside Rocks as we endeavor to marry music with the fun in fundraising.
Thank you for supporting our journey!
