Amidst all the bustle of mid-summer Laguna Beach, the Bluebird Park Summer Concert Calendar is rolling into play, and this year two weeks earlier than ever with an additional live music group added in.

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.

Wrapping up the concert series on Sunday, Aug. 26th, it’s none other than the popular tribute band to Carlos Santana, Santanaways. What a cool and groovy way to say goodbye to yet another great season.

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