Dana Point’s Ocean Institute will feature a “Battle of the Bands” on Saturday, Sept 29 from 5 to 9 p.m. to raise money for the Institute’s Distance Learning Program for children.

Hosted by the Sand Dollar Guild, a fundraising arm of the Ocean Institute, two well-known blues bands will take to the stage. Brian Young and the Blues Band will join the Blues Racket Band for an evening of soulful sound amid the beautiful ocean setting at the Institute.

In addition to the fantastic live music, local restaurants will be serving up their most popular dishes. A cash bar with the best beer, wine, and spirits the area has to offer and delicious offerings by Jimmy’s Favorite American Tavern, Macaroni Grill, Parallel Pizza, Roux, Sharkey’s, South of Nick’s, and more are included in the event ticket.
