KC'S Marina Pointe Grand Opening Weekend

KC'S MARINA POINTEgrand opening weekend

Ready to rock by the river: It's finally party time at the tri-state's favorite summer hangout

Perhaps the biggest disappointment during last year's Covid lockdown was the effective cancellation of Marina Pointe's summer party season, but the clouds have finally parted and the tri-state is in for a grand opening weekend like no other to kick off the reopening of Evansville in style. Get ready to rock by the river with Matt Stell & Chris Bandi (5/6), Nick Alligood & Tailgate Revival plus DJ Cliffy (5/7) and a big regional band TBA on Saturday, May 8. And that's just the beginning of what GM Chad Brady promises will be "the best summer ever" at Marina Pointe.

He's not kidding. Brady has several high profile concerts booked in the coming weeks and months, including Jelly Roll, Michael Ray, Drake White and Buckcherry - who tried their best to schedule a show at Marina Pointe last year only to lose out to the pandemic time and again. Rest assured the hugely popular rock band is determined to make up for lost time on July 2nd with a fiery set that's guaranteed to live up to their reputation for wild live shows. Be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming concert announcements!

And as in summers past, the 4th of July celebration promises to be off the hook. Brady is working on bringing country rapper Upchurch back for a two-night stand and there will be a massive fireworks show to celebrate

the occasion. Does it get any better? Actually, it does. Marina Pointe plans to bring food trucks on site this season, partnering with Nick Duffy of The Duffy Shuffle & Rock-A-Burger food trucks to offer some truly tasty options and keep everyone fueled up for extensive partying. But you can also still order from the Marina Pointe menu which Brady notes will be streamlined but still entirely delicious.

So it's a done deal - you're heading to Marina Pointe this summer for the best nightlife in Evansville. Rest up because it's going to get crazy by the river with big name bands and the best food and drinks in town!
