The City of Irvine annual summer tradition returns July 9, when the Sizzlin’ Summer Concert series kicks off at Mike Ward Community Park — Woodbridge.
The community is invited to a series of free family-friendly concerts in the park covering a variety of musical tastes — from country rock and dance hits to classic soul and ’80s music. In addition to Saturday concerts, enjoy a Sunday series finale featuring Pacific Symphony. Bring a picnic basket or purchase treats from on-site gourmet food trucks.
General admission is free (no tickets or pre-registration required) for first-come, first-served seating. Limited reserved seating near the front of the stage is available for $20 at yourirvine.org. Each reserved seating ticket reserves one space, which accommodates approximately five adults.
