Beginning this month, the Third Street Promenade will have a free summer concert series of its own.
Officials at the Bayside District Corp., the non-profit that manages the Promenade in partnership with the city, announced they will team-up with Los Angeles night club Spaceland to bring up and coming bands to Santa Monica.
For many years, the Santa Monica Pier has a summer concert series of its own called the “Twilight Dance Series.”
The concert’s stage for the new series will be set-up in the Promenade’s center court, which is the geographical center of the three-block outdoor shopping mall between Broadway and Wilshire Boulevard.
The first band, Irving, is scheduled to perform on July 19 beginning at noon and running 4 p.m. The concert series will continue through the next month on alternating Fridays on August 2, 16, and 30.
All concerts in the summer concert series are free. Parking is free for two hours in any public parking structures on Second and Fourth Streets.
