In 1994 Del Mar brought the funk to Fridays with free concerts. Over the years the free Summer Concert Series has attracted the likes of Cake, Weezer, ZZ Top, Billy Idol, Devo, Gnarls Barkley, Ziggy Marley, Matisyahu, Violent Femmes and Jason Mraz, but in 2001 a singer/songwriter/surfer named Jack Johnson put Del Mar on the musical map (or was it the other way around)? I was lucky enough to be at that concert in 2001, and Jack Johnson was incredible. It was however more than a little crowded, if you can I would find a place to watch before the races are over. This year the line-up is incredible! You can see Ben Harper, Steel Pulse & The Offspring!
All 12 performances of the Del Mar Summer Concert Series are free for fans attending the races. If you plan to only attend the concerts and plan to attend a few I would recommend the $29 for Del Mar Summer Concert Series Pass. Pass includes 10 Clubhouse tickets to the racetrack & all twelve shows in the Summer Concert Series. Attend all season long, or share tickets with friends! The Seaside Stage is a non-smoking venue. For Friday shows, as is the case with attending the races, patrons under 18-years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The Saturday shows are 18-years of age and up ONLY. Following the last race, concert prices are $20. No reserved seats, standing room only so get here early. Concert starts after the races.
This is a hot deal at $29 for Del Mar Summer Concert Series Pass ($100 Value). Pass includes 10 Clubhouse tickets to the racetrack & all twelve shows in the Summer Concert Series. Attend all season long, or share tickets with friends!

Nine previous Pat & Oscar’s locations will be the first to be re-branded into O’s American Kitchen. In addition to the new name, each location will feature updated interiors and logo, with a more contemporary and modern feel. O’s American Kitchen is a unique casual dining experience in Southern California with locations in Carmel Mountain Ranch, Orange Town & Country, Mira Mesa, El Cajon, South Coast Metro, Eastlake, National City, San Marcos and Mission Valley.
Pat & Oscar’s, famous for the hot-fresh-hand-rolled bread sticks is the main reason most of us use to visit. Don’t worry O’s American Kitchen is not changing the bread sticks! There will be new and updated menu items with bolder flavors while still retaining the attributes we have come to know and love. The menu is still very similar and the prices are still very reasonable. The family meal deal offering a half chicken, medium pizza, pasta bowl, medium salad, and of course the bread sticks is still a deal at under $30 for a family of four! Of course if you are on the e-mail list you will receive coupons every now and then for the meal deal for only $24.99, which is pretty much a steal!
O’s American Kitchen is offering a FREE family meal to one of SoCal Savvy Mom’s readers! Go here to enter for this delicious giveaway! Good luck!
