Apparently business has been good for me this year because it has kept me distracted from my blog and I’ve missed the first Pops in the Park of 2018! June 2nd was in East Portal Park with IdealTeam.

All of the concerts begin at 6:00pm and as usual, there is free bike valet parking if you don’t want to fight for a parking space and don’t live close enough to walk in. I hope to see a lot of my neighbors when I make it out for some Pops in the Park fun this...

If you didn’t get your fill of live music with the Sacramento Music Festival, never fear. All this June, we have Pops in the Park. Starting out in 1991 as an afternoon concert, the East Sac Pops in the Park has since evolved into a series of evening concerts to help fund the upkeep of neighborhood parks. This year, it kicks off June 1 in East Portal Park with perennial SacramentoMusic Festival favorites Tom Rigney and Flambeau. Rigney and his gang of talented musicians always gets the audience up on their feet with their energetic Cajun and zydeco tunes, traditional New Orleans jazz, waltzes, blues and ballads. The emcees for the evening are B Street Theatre’s Buck Busfield and Bill Blake. The series continues through June in various East Sacramentoparks. Here’s the schedule: June 1- Tom Rigney and Flambeau, East Portal Park June 8- Mercy Me, Glenn Hall Park June 15- The John Skinner Band, Bertha Henschel Park June 22- Mick Martin & The Blues Rockers, McKinley Park All shows start at 6pm. Get there early with your blankets or lawn chairs to get the best spots. The shows are free, with proceeds from food and drink vendors benefitting neighborhood projects.
