Del Mar Summer Concert Series (After the Races)

by

If you are planning a trip to the races this season on a Friday or Saturday you are in luck because the Summer Concert Series is right after and FREE with racetrack admission.  If you arrive after the last race you will have to pay the $20 admission for the concert.  The concerts begin shortly after the last race on Friday and Saturday.  The concerts are for all ages however it gets pretty crowded and may be a bit much for little ones, not to mention loud!  There is no seating standing-room only another reason it may not be a great place for kids.
