The U.S. National Whitewater River Center’s popular River Jam is a free concert series that takes place every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening starting May 1, 2025. The series typically takes place through the end of September.
The music takes place from 7 to 10 p.m. The schedule might be a little different on days when festivals are taking place.
The Whitewater Center is at 5000 Whitewater Center Parkway, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Admission is free. Parking is $12 per car. An annual parking pass is $40, so if you think you’ll go to the Whitewater Center four times for any reason in a calendar year, that’s the way to go.
Outside food or drink is not allowed. Food and drink is for sale at the Whitewater Center.
