The Arts & Cultural Foundation of Antioch is proud to host the FREE ANTIOCH SATURDAY SUMMER CONCERTS SERIES every Saturday evening in July and August from 6-8 pm.

Due to the generosity of the Lesher Foundation, the summer concert series has expanded to include every Saturday in July and August. The concert venue is once again Waldie Plaza (2nd and I Streets) in the Rivertown district in downtown Antioch. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, picnic dinners and enjoy music, and a cool breeze off the Delta. This is a great opportunity to visit the downtown restaurants before or after the concerts. There is no alcohol or smoking permitted in Waldie Plaza.

The series kicks off on the holiday weekend, Vocal Ease & the Boogie Men, a local favorite, performing a variety of nostalgic music from the 40’s, 50’s & 60’s on Saturday, July 2nd. The lineup continues on July 9th with 80’s RetroManiax, Special Request on July 16th, Juke Joint on July 23rd, Mojo Addiction on July 30th, PhDs on August 6th, Rodeo House on August 13th, Harvey & the Wall Bangers on August 20th and the final concert will be Mixed Nuts on August 27th.

The concert series is made possible by a grant from the Lesher Foundation and the following sponsors: City of Antioch, Arts & Cultural Foundation of Antioch, East Contra Costa Times, Give Always to Others & Company (GATO), the Antioch Chamber of Commerce, FastSigns and Clay, Millias, & Co, LLP.
