Carlsbad's TGIF Concerts in the Parks series, one of the city’s most popular summer activities, is back in person this summer and celebrating its 36th anniversary with an exciting lineup of performances that will have crowds dancing the night away.
The concerts, held at 6 p.m. each Friday, are free and open to the public. You can enjoy the live music, connect with friends and neighbors, bring your own feasts to picnic on the grass, participate in hands-on art-making activities and more.
Parking is limited, so be sure to take advantage of the new complimentary bike valet service at each concert location. Similar to a car valet but for your bikes, the free service will be offered at each TGIF concert location, so you can enjoy the shows even faster. A free shuttle service will be available at most locations as well.
