Very hard to get a drink when there is only one mobile bar and they are trying to serve a couple hundred people. Very frustrating. Add more drink outlets. Besides that, music and weather were very enjoyable.

Great place to hang out and relax. Beautiful downtown Peoria Heights district. Check out “Friday Night Heights” for some awesome local musicians/bands, Clink Mobile Bar and the amazing food trucks that come out for Friday Night Heights!

Concerts often during good weather months. Nice place to sit and relax. Other events throughout the year also. Very nice place for family.
