ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Riverfront is home to must-see concerts this fall! The Riverboats at the Gateway Arch are set to host the second annual Rock the Dock floating concert series, a celebration of STL’s live music scene featuring genres such as blues, soul, R&B, alt-rock, and country. Concertgoers can enjoy a rocking atmosphere, a special Cajun-inspired menu, and a selection of drinks from 4 Hands Brewing Co, alongside the best views of the Mississippi River and the Gateway Arch in autumn every Sunday, September 19 through October 24.
This year, we have a great new partner, Play it Forward, a local nonprofit whose mission is to ensure each child in St. Louis is provided with the opportunity to discover his or her musical talents by providing instruments to children and schools that cannot afford them. Representatives will be on-site for all shows accepting monetary and instrument donations. Donations may be made directly to Play It Forward at playitforwardstl.org.
