Join us for the most competitive night of the week at Riverside, where your favorite tunes meet the thrill of bingo! SINGO is not just a game… it’s a c-e-l-e-b-r-a-t-i-o-n of music and community!
Instead of calling out numbers, we’ll be jammin’ to catchy hits! Each player receives a bingo card, and as we blast about a minute of each song, you’ll match those tunes to the tiles on your board. The first to shout “SINGO!” after lining up five in a row wins an epic prize!
Whether you’re flying solo or rallying your friends, this FREE game is the perfect way to unleash your inner music lover. With 3 exciting rounds per game and 2 games every night, the fun just keeps on coming!
Games kick off around 7PM and again at 8PM! Be sure to arrive early to snag the best table, enjoy a delicious dinner from one of our rotating food truck friends (or delicious downtown neighbors) and get your game board ready!
Let’s make some noise and see who’s got the best musical ear!
