Looking for a fun outing with your family in Orange County this summer that won’t break the bank? Each year, OC Parks throws a special summer concert series to enjoy live music at some of the best parks throughout the county.
The best part? It’s free! Not only is their no admission, but parking is also free in parks that normally charge for entry. The only reason you want some cash on hand is to take advantage of the food trucks on site or—if you’re over 21—enjoy a beverage from the beer and wine garden.
The concerts are held every Thursday throughout the summer (with the exception of Independence Day), with the event starting at 5 P.M. and music beginning at 6 P.M.
