The City of Carlsbad will host free concerts in the park throughout the summer at different parks in Carlsbad. This is the 30th year of this fun-family event with the City of Carlsbad. There will be on-site food options, with new vendors with items like hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, barbecue and Fro-Yo! In the past we have always brought our snacks with us but this year maybe we will try out some of the new food options. Bring low-back chairs, a blanket, snacks, and drinks if you would like. Glass is allowed at these events ONLY, wine and beer bottles are okay to bring, they do ask that you recycle.

The second concert at each park has fun things for kids to do as well, it is called Art at Jazz. Art At Jazz offers hands-on visual arts activities for younger TGIF Jazz audience members. Instructors and volunteers guide the children as they make works of art in planned activities.

All concerts are 6 to 8 p.m.
