Friends of Riverfront Park presents a Save Riverfront Park Benefit Concert, from 6 pm to 8 pm on Thursday June 23 in the park at the foot of Morton Street in Peoria, IL. near Constitution Gardens.

The event stars Barry Cloyd (http://www.barrycloyd.com/) and Freedom Street with special guest Robin Crowe (http://robincrowe.com/).

The event is free. Donations will be gratefully accepted to support expenses to preserve the park.

People should bring lawn chairs and blankets. Picnics are appropriate and food will be available for purchase. No alcohol is permitted in the park.

Parking is available at the Riverplex, or at the Morton Street parking lot for the mobility challenged.

Friends of Riverfront Park aims to save the park, a unique urban open space, from being ruined by four 4-story luxury apartments and a road. Details about the efforts to save the park also will be announced at the event.

Rain location is the GAR Hall, 416 Hamilton Boulevard, Peoria. Check the Facebook page for the latest information.

The concert is dedicated to Dorothy and Henry Sinclair. Peoria City Council member Dorothy Sinclair was a founder of Riverfront Park, and a memorial to her is in the park. Henry Sinclair spoke out to the City Council against the apartments shortly before his death.
