A few tips for nightly concerts on the Riverfront:

1. Anywhere outside of the barricades and cones designated for public parking may be used to park your vehicle. The Trolley will travel around the downtown area close to the Riverfront to take you safely to the Riverfront and return you to your vehicle.
2. The new public restrooms are located between Water St. & 2nd St. on Jefferson.
3. Arrive early to the concerts - Seats (outside of VIP seating area) are first come, first serve. Also, seats inside the VIP Seating area are first come, first serve, but you must have a VIP pass!
4. Many of the performers have a meet and greet area after their performance. This allows you an opportunity to talk to the performer, get an autograph, and buy their CD!
5. Brochures detailing all Paducah Summer Festival activities are available throughout many stores in Paducah. And, as always, the brochures can be picked up at the Paducah-McCracken Co. Convention & Visitors Bureau located at 128 Broadway.
6. Don't forget that a variety of food and non-alcoholic drinks are available in the vendor area, located in the parking lot to the left of the Broadway entrance of the Riverfront.
