Family Friendly Summer Nights Outdoor Music Festival at the Osher Marin JCC
This summer the Osher Marin Jewish Community Center reprises its most popular event series: the Summer Nights Outdoor Music Festival. Bring your picnic, blanket, low-backed lawn chairs, and dancing shoes—there's fun for the whole family! Concerts take place on Saturday evenings from July 13 through August 10 at 7 pm. Dinners from a variety of favorite local restaurants will be available for purchase, along with beer, wine, non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks.
This year, kids 17 and under are free, and the Kids Zone will include fun art projects and activities presented by local organizations like Bread & Roses, the Marine Mammal Center, and the Agricultural Institute of Marin. Of course the playground will be open for supervised play, too!
