Pops in the Park

Description

An East Sacramento tradition that has become renowned for showcasing some of the finest musical talent in Sacramento, the Pops in the Park Concert Series offers a relaxing evening in the park with entertainment from live local bands. Everyone is invited to come and enjoy these free concerts! The Pops in the Park concerts are BYO everything (minus the music) if you choose ~ including chairs, umbrellas, gourmet picnics, cocktails and cool drinks in fancy plastic cups. Or you can choose to keep your load light and purchase food, drinks and desserts from vendors that come out to make the experience complete, like Sacramento Catering and Burrs Ice Cream. The concerts run from 6-9PM Saturday evenings in June. For more information call 808-5240… and don’t forget to dust off that picnic basket in the meantime!
