If your family enjoys listening to live music, there are a few outdoor concerts you can see for FREE. Most of these events aren’t specifically geared toward children, though families are welcome to join. Many concerts don’t require pre-registration or tickets, so pack up a blanket, maybe a picnic, and drop into an event whenever is best for your schedule.
Bring a blanket, sunscreen, and snacks. Enjoy the music and feel free to bust out some dance moves!
Our 2023 Guide to East Bay Outdoor Summer Concerts includes family-friendly-ish performances all around the East Bay and beyond. We will be updating it all summer so stop back often.Â
