Broadway Plaza Concert Series Begins!

IG users, click the link in my bio for the whole blog!

The 2024 Broadway Plaza Summer Concert Series begins tomorrow August 8th at 7 pm! Will I see you there? I love taking advantage of one of Walnut Creek’s best free, outdoor events each year. Thursday night, they kick things off with 24K Magic, a tribute to Bruno Mars. You can’t beat that kind of sound for an opening night! Seating is limited, get their early and bring a chair, friends and some beverages.

There are drinks for sale at each show, and the surrounding restaurants will be open for food, too. Though the event is free, A Brighter Day is a sponsor of the series and accepts donations for their cause. It’s a great cause, so please learn more about it and consider a donation if you go to the concerts. Below are a couple of pictures from past events.

More acts for the month of August include Evolution August 8th (a Journey tribute) and Kalimba August 15th (an Earth, Wind & Fire tribute). This is always a really fun time and the Walnut Creek Downtown Association does a wonderful job putting it on. Let me know if you’re stopping by!

Event Round-Up: Aug. 10

We’re going to go a slightly different direction here today, as I usually pull from a larger list of events and compile them for you. Instead, I’d like to focus on the Broadway Plaza Concert Series which has started this month. First, a few thoughts on the series itself:

Since they re-did the mall and have moved these concerts into the event plaza by Macy’s, I don’t really enjoy these shows as much as I used to. It is too crowded and it is fenced off, so people can still walk through.

I really liked the casual area that was once next to Stanford’s and behind the parking structure. It never felt too crowded there. I was thinking it might be better to move it to the top of the parking structure by Macy’s in the future.

With all that said, this is a good opportunity to get downtown on a warm summer night and enjoy some music with family and friends. Even if the layout isn’t as good as it used to be, the music is still there! So, here is the schedule for this summer – go check it out and let me know how you like it!

(We’ve already had two of the shows go by, but there are still three more! You can bring blankets or chairs to the venue. Music always starts at 7 p.m.)
