Yes...we got rained out last Friday. And yes...Riverview Park’s bathrooms were horribly vandalized right after. But you know what, we’re going to get through this and come out on the other side this Friday, July 5, 2024 from 5:30-9PM to remind ourselves why we keep showing up for our community at ROR. And we couldn’t think of a better band to kick out the soundtrack than The Pork Tornadoes ! Having played more than 700+ shows in the last 15 years, this band has perfected their live show into an experience you won’t find anywhere else. While many bands only specialize in one genre, decade or artist, The Pork Tornadoes are masters of all genres over 5+ decades, which lets people of all ages and musical tastes feel included.

Make sure to stick around until the end of the show because we’re going to pull out all the stops for one of the best fireworks displays in recent memory!

We are deeply saddened to have to cancel ROR for tonight with Stark Raving Madge at Rendezvous on Riverview! The weather did not want to play nice today!! We will see you all next week for The Pork Tornadoes and Fireworks!!

And once again, they are a sponsor that has a mission statement we can get behind:

“The City of Des Moines stands to be a financially strong city with exceptional city services, fostering an involved community in a customer friendly atmosphere.”

This Friday on June 28th from 5:30-9PM, Stark Raving Madge takes the 2024 Rendezvous
On Riverview stage to deliver the yacht rock classics we all know and love!
