Each year on July and August Sunday evenings, our more southerly Bluebird Park comes alive with live music that varies from Grateful Dead tribute bands to great rock and roll, Reggae and jazz.

Although most locals are very familiar with Bluebird Park, newcomers and visitors might not know it even exists. This is such a lovely park. Unlike the gorgeous ocean setting of the Heisler Park concert series in May, Bluebird Park is more like sitting in a meadow clearing amidst towering trees. It’s quite serene and lovely. The music, though, is far from serene. This is a fun, rocking evening no matter who’s on stage.

Pack up your chairs and picnic blankets (no placement before 3:00 p.m. please) and tote in a picnic basket with all your favorites. It’s a great friendly crowd of locals and visitors alike, and a perfect way to end a weekend and begin the week ahead.

On Sunday, July 15th, it’s Scot Bruce in a tribute to Elvis. A returning favorite, Scot Bruce began his Elvis tribute concerts in 1990 when he was trying to make ends meet between acting jobs. Now, he’s Elvis everywhere – in commercials, on national network television and in music videos with stars such as Faith Hill and Sheryl Crow.

Bluebird Park is located on Cress Street between Temple Terrace and Bluebird Canyon Drive
