East Urbana
East Urbana sits as a transition zone between downtown Urbana and an adjacent residential neighborhood, and its sole live-music draw is Riggs Beer Company, a farm brewery at 1901 S. High Cross Rd. The taproom calendar mixes live music with brewery tours, beer festivals, and seasonal releases. Riggs hosts concerts across a wide range of genres, with past bookings running from local pop-folk acts to country singers. The annual Riggs-Fest runs across four days and lines up multiple acts per day, giving the brewery one of the more ambitious multi-day music lineups in the Champaign-Urbana area. Most regular performances carry no cover charge, with musicians playing for tips. The space offers both indoor and outdoor seating, including picnic tables, grassy areas, and shaded patios, and is family-friendly with a playground and yard games. Local food trucks set up in the parking lot during peak hours.
