The transformation of the waterfront at Rio Lakefront in Gaithersburg is nearly complete. A new stage with sail-themed canopy will now be the center of attention for most entertainment events at the Peterson Cos. property. The new boardwalk is nearing completion, and a grassy area in front of the stage is already in place.
Among other improvements are new railings that provide a less-obstructed view of the water. That will especially be noticed on the restaurant patios like this one at Silver Diner, opening in August, when you are seated at tables with a lower viewing position.
Events will include the usual Saturday night concerts, but also weekly Thursday lunchtime concerts on the stage, and a monthly karaoke event hosted by local radio and television personality Tommy McFly... Karaoke will begin this Friday night, June 28, 2019 at 7:30, and continue monthly through August 30. Local and high school bands will get a chance for exposure at a separate concert series, Nando's Fiery Friday Night Concerts on the boardwalk stage. For kids, there is the Carousel Kids series at the Carousel every other Wednesday morning at 10:30 AM. For a full event schedule, visit the
official Rio Lakefront website.
Meanwhile, check out my reports on the new
Dave & Buster's opening July 1, the fully-renovated
AMC Dine-In Rio Cinemas 18 theater, and the aforementioned
Silver Diner.
