The much loved Concerts in the Parks series may not be starting for several months, but the city of Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Department is preparing for the popular event by putting out a call to local bands to apply for the summer concert series.
Family-friendly bands from several genres are needed to fill the several Sunday afternoon slots in June through September of this year. Interested bands are invited to fill out a form on the city’s website at ci.santa-maria.ca.us or at the P.L.A.Y., Inc. website santamariaatplay.org. More information is available at 925-0951, Ext. 260.
The Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Department held its first Concerts in the Park series in 2004 with three concerts. Now, the series includes 10 Sunday concerts and two Saturday block party concerts in the McClelland Street corridor.
