Riverview Park Concerts & Events

09/26/2026

Due to Riverview Park being a soggy mess and with the threat of continued rain- Saturday nights postponed concert of Jesse and The Medicine Men has been cancelled. The plan is too get them on for RoR in 2027.
Hopefully 3rd time will be a charm!

Mother Nature is forcing the postponement of this coming weekend's events! Please share!

🌧️ IMPORTANT RECOVERY FESTIVAL UPDATE 🌧️

Due to the amount of rain we’ve already received and the forecasted weather for this weekend, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to POSTPONE the Recovery Festival, taking a literal “rain check”.

While we are disappointed that we won’t be celebrating with you this weekend, the safety of our attendees, volunteers, vendors, performers, and community has to come first. ❤️

📅 NEW DATE: October 24, 2026
📍 Same location: Riverview Park Concerts & Events, Des Moines

Please update your calendars, share this post, and help us spread the word! We appreciate everyone’s understanding and support, and we can’t wait to come together on October 24 to celebrate recovery, hope, and community. 💜

Same mission. Same community. New date. See you October 24!
