The City of Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation Department announces the return of Concerts in the Park. This free, family-friendly summer tradition has drawn large crowds and showcased a diverse range of musical talent at Chase Palm Park since its inception in 2000. 

Concerts will take place in the Great Meadow at Chase Palm Park on Thursdays in July from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The community is invited to bring blankets, chairs, picnics, family, and friends to enjoy an evening of live music along Cabrillo Boulevard. 

2026 Concerts in the Park Lineup
July 2 – The New Vibe (Funk with a hip hop twist)
July 9 – Jason Libs and The Liberation (Rock from the 70s to today)
July 16 – The Mighty Cash Cats (Johnny Cash hits and country classics)
July 23 – Spencer The Gardener (Eclectic mix of pop and surf rock)

Bands were selected through an online application process that received nearly 200 submissions. 

The free concert series is hosted in partnership with the PARC Foundation.
