    • April 7, 2026

    Summer evenings in Orange County are set to come alive once again as OC Parks brings back its annual Summer Concert Series, offering nine free outdoor shows across some of the region’s most scenic parks.

    Returning Thursday nights from July 9 through Sept. 3, the long-running series invites residents and visitors alike to gather outdoors for a season of live music, community connection and warm-weather nights under the open sky. This year’s programming is part of a broader summer lineup that also includes the Sunset Cinema film series, expanding opportunities for free, family-friendly entertainment across the county.

    Concerts will take place at Mason Regional Park in Irvine, Irvine Regional Park in Orange, Craig Regional Park in Fullerton, Mile Square Regional Park in Fountain Valley and Bluff Park at Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point.

    The 2026 lineup features a mix of crowd-favorite tribute acts and returning performers spanning pop, rock, Latin and nostalgic hits, with artists including Flashback Heart Attack, Queen Nation, Boy Band Review, Beatles vs. Stones: The Greatest Show That Never Was, Mariachi Divas, Como La Flor Band: A Tribute to Selena and Dream Like Taylor. Family Style will close out the series with a final performance at the coast.

    “OC Parks’ annual Summer Concert Series and Sunset Cinema events have become a beloved tradition, and we’re excited to welcome the community back for another memorable season of music and movies in our parks,” said Doug Chaffee, chair of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, in a statement.

    The concert series is free to attend and open to all ages, with free parking available at each location. Guests can enjoy a rotating selection of food trucks along with beer and wine concessions for those 21 and older. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and picnic items to settle in for the evening. Events begin at 5 p.m., with live music starting at 6 p.m. and continuing through 8 p.m.
