MUSIC IN THE VALLE 2019
The park’s annual Music in the Valle concert series kicks off on May 24, 2019 and runs through September 6. September 13 will be held as a rain make-up date. Concerts begin at 7 p.m. May 25 – August 10, and at 6:30 p.m. August 17 –September 7. Admission to the concerts is free, but a $5 donation per person or $10 donation per family to the park is recommended. Seating is not provided, so bring chairs or a blanket. Food is available for purchase at all concerts, see food trucks listed below.
If you attend most of the concerts during our summer season, consider purchasing a 2019 Bucket List pass. A Bucket List pass allows you to make a single, up-front donation to the park rather than bring a donation to each concert. When the bucket gets passed – you hold up your Bucket List! Passes are $150 per family or $75 per individual. Contact us to make a purchase, or make an online contribution and indicate “Bucket List” in the comments field.
