The excitement in Sacramento is palpable as Concerts in the Park returns for its 33rd year, enticing music lovers with the charm of free outdoor concerts. Kicking off this Friday, attendees can expect a thrilling lineup, headlined by the alternative rock band Edgehill, along with performances by Rainbow City Park, Ashley Jaguar, and DJ Keith.
This beloved summer series will run every Friday for nine weeks, wrapping up on June 26. Each week brings something fresh, featuring a variety of genres including electronic, Latin, dance, and hip hop, ensuring there’s something for everyone. And the cherry on top? Admission is free! Just grab your friends and picnic blankets, and stroll in as the gates open at 6 p.m.
The venue at the downtown plaza—named after labor and civil rights activist César Chávez—adds a layer of cultural richness to the event, even as there are discussions about potentially renaming the park. After the music ends around 9:30 p.m., those 21 and over can join in on the adult fun at“Concerts in the Park After Dark,”with themed drinks at local bars and restaurants.
It’s the ultimate summer kickoff! Music, community, and a good time await—what more could you ask for?
