Concerts in the Park Returns
by City Manager Ken Striplin
Saturday summer nights in Santa Clarita are something residents look forward to all year long. It’s the time to grab your lawn chair, blankets, picnic dinners, your friends and neighbors and head to Central Park for the City’s Concerts in the Park series, presented by Logix Federal Credit Union. This year’s lineup is sure to have everyone on their feet and singing along. Performances include Dreaming of You, a Selena tribute band; The FABBA Show, celebrating the music of ABBA; RagDolls, an Aerosmith tribute; Gold Rush Country performing Top 40 country hits; the Blue Breeze Band bringing Soul, Motown and R&B favorites; Paramore! At the Disco featuring music from Paramore and Panic! At The Disco; Kenny Metcalf as Elton John; and The Police Experience. Besides the great music, what makes this free event series so popular is the sense of community created on the Central Park fields. Parents relax on the lawn, kids play catch with friends, food trucks serve up a variety of meals and desserts, while music fans dance along in front of the stage. You know the event is special when residents begin claiming their spots as the sun rises, all in anticipation of enjoying the show together when the sun sets and the music fills Central Park. In addition to incredible performances, each concert will feature local nonprofit organizations, Youth Sports Pop Up and Play activities for kids and an inclusive “Chill Zone” designed to create a welcoming environment for all families. We look forward to spending another amazing summer with the community at Central Park.
