Paramount continues to provide world-class entertainment—including dance, music, Broadway-caliber theatre, and children’s programming—for an annual audience of 350,000 patrons from over 250 communities.

At our sister venue, RiverEdge Park, we welcome well over 100,000 patrons each summer to enjoy some of the best artists in live music, including KISS, Steve Miller Band and much more.
