The Aurora Area's rise to prominence as an arts & culture hub is thanks in large part to the success of the "Jeff" award-winning Paramount Theatre, where you can witness breathtaking Broadway productions and one-night-only entertainment, and RiverEdge Park, Chicagoland's newest large outdoor concert venue, which attracts locals and visitors alike to see the biggest names in live music. Enjoy dinner & a show with our dining guide, the perfect pairing for a night out on the town.
