A hallmark of summertime in downtown Pleasanton, the annual Concert in the Park series returns with “an eclectic mix of music from rock, blues and country to ’50s and ’60s oldies, soul and more,” according to organizers.
With the Pleasanton Downtown Association releasing the full music lineup earlier this month, series favorite Audio Illusion was revealed as the opening act for the series on June 7, performing their repertoire of classic rock, pop and blues sounds.
The free concerts will take place every Friday in June, July and August at Lions Wayside Park and adjacent Delucchi Park at First and Neal streets. The shows run from 7-8:30 p.m., with residents and visitors filling the grass with lawn chairs, blankets and picnic dinners often from downtown restaurants.
Attendees often put out their blanket or chairs starting on Friday mornings, at their own risk – although PDA officials reminded folks that the use of plastic tarps as well as rocks to hold down blankets is prohibited.
