ST. LOUIS — The Riverboats at the Gateway Arch are set to host St. Louis’ only floating concert series, Rock the Dock presented by 4 Hands Brewing Company and 1220 Spirits, Sundays this fall.
A celebration of St. Louis, Rock the Dock is a unique way to safely enjoy live musical performances by some of St. Louis’ most popular bands while taking in incredible views of downtown St. Louis, the Gateway Arch and the Mississippi River from the riverboat dock. Concertgoers will be seated at reserved, socially distanced tables, where they can enjoy a curated barbeque menu and a selection of drinks from 4 Hands Brewing Company and 1220 Spirits. Bands will perform from an elevated space next to the dock so the audience will have a great view while they take in some long-awaited live music.
