Every spring, Riverside Rocks throws the greatest music festival in the Chicago suburbs, pulling fans from all corners of Chicagoland. Since 2020 we’ve proudly raised over $290 K for organizations dedicated to fighting childhood illness & disease.
Year after year, the region’s top bands volunteer their time & talent, turning the stage into a celebration of community, hope, and great music.
Our sponsors back the cause with advertising dollars, creative collaborations, social‑media shout‑outs, and the most coveted raffle prizes. And behind the scenes, a legion of volunteers—hundreds strong—keep everything running smoothly.
Every dollar fuels awareness, powers research, and expands treatment options for kids battling serious illness.
Let’s crank up the volume for these young fighters and rock on together!
We are proud to support the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago the #1 children’s hospital in Illinois and other local organizations dedicated to fighting childhood illness and disease!
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!
