Rockin’ at the Ridge

CATEGORY: EVENTS, NEWS

Kicking off in Spring 2024, the second annual Rockin’ at the Ridge music series will begin. There will be acts ranging from jazz and rock to go-go and acapella. Beginning May 17 and continuing every weekend throughout the Spring and Summer, Ridge Square is going to be rockin’!

Ridge Square is the perfect place for intimate concerts while enjoying food and drink at one of our many restaurants. Grab some tacos from Taco Bamba or a pizza or salad from Rooftop Kitchen and take a seat in the square or get to the outdoor bar at King Street Oyster Bar to grab a bite and enjoy the music. Our residents can simply open their windows and enjoy the music as well. Music will be played at street level near the patio outside King Street Oyster Bar and Tatte.

The warmer months are going to be rocking at City Ridge. Don’t miss out.
