Nothing says summertime quite like Concerts in the Park. This year marks the 36th summer of live music in Santa Clarita, making Concerts in the Park one of our longest-standing traditions.
Music has a unique way of bringing people together. It is one of the most universal forms of connection and communication, transcending language, culture and background. It brings joy, offers comfort and has a remarkable ability to spark memories. In a community as diverse as Santa Clarita, music becomes a shared experience — one that allows us to celebrate both our individuality and what unites us.
This summer, I invite you to be part of creating new musical memories with us.
Join us every Saturday night at 7 p.m., beginning July 11 through Aug. 29, as Central Park Fields 7 and 8 (27150 Bouquet Canyon Road) transform into Santa Clarita’s premier outdoor concert venue. Food trucks will be on-site and open by 5 p.m., so you can make a full evening of it. Pack your lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets, arrive early to secure your spot and get ready to enjoy an unforgettable night of music under the stars.
Without further ado, here is the announcement you all have been waiting for. This year’s lineup is exceptional, offering something for everyone:
- July 11 — Dreaming of You (Selena tribute).
- July 18 — The FABBA Show (ABBA tribute).
- July 25 — RagDolls (Aerosmith tribute).
- Aug. 1 — Gold Rush Country (Top 40 country hits).
- Aug. 8 — Blue Breeze Band (Soul, Motown and R&B hits).
- Aug. 15 — Paramore! At the Disco (Paramore and Panic! at the Disco tribute).
- Aug. 22 — Kenny Metcalf as Elton John (Elton John tribute).
- Aug. 29 — The Police Experience (The Police tribute).
Each performance brings a different sound, style and cultural influence to the stage. From the iconic rhythms of Selena to the soulful energy of R&B, the storytelling of country music and the electrifying spirit of rock and pop, this lineup showcases the many ways music connects us across generations and backgrounds.
Like many of you, there are a few performances that immediately stand out as can’t-miss evenings. I’m especially looking forward to Dreaming of You, the Blue Breeze Band and Kenny Metcalf as Elton John. These concerts not only highlight incredible talent but also celebrate the wide range of musical influences that resonate throughout our city.
Concerts in the Park are completely free, and each evening will highlight a different local nonprofit organization. In total, eight organizations will be featured throughout the 2026 series, showcasing the important work being done across our community.
In addition to live performances, food and nonprofit engagement, the city’s Youth Sports team will host Pop Up and Play, offering fun and interactive activities for children throughout the evening. The city’s Inclusion team will also provide a Chill Zone, an adaptive space designed to support children with different sensory needs and ensure a welcoming, inclusive environment for all families.
I look forward to spending these warm summer nights with all of you. Events like these remind us that while we may come from different backgrounds, music has the power to bring us together in a shared moment of joy.
