The lineup ranges from R&B, smooth jazz, tributes, country favorites and more.
"We're thrilled to bring back our signature live music series that our guests have come to love and look forward to each summer," said Christine Georgantas, Director of Exhibits and Events at the Festival of Arts. “This summer's line-up features fan-favorite performers and a few exciting new talents, making every night at the Festival an experience of great art, music, and community.”
During its two-month summer season, audiences can enjoy daily live concerts as well as six weekly concert series. Tribute Wednesdays, running July 2 through August 27, features some of Southern California’s most popular tribute bands. Audiences can look forward to performances by Pretzel Logic celebrating the music of Steely Dan, Savor honoring Santana, and Missus Jones paying tribute to Amy Winehouse.
On Thursdays, the Festival’s beloved Art, Jazz, Wine & Chocolate series returns July 3 through August 28. Sponsored by Charles Schwab and Cambria Estate Winery, this evening series blends live jazz with gourmet chocolate and wine pairings for a multi-sensory experience. Guests can enjoy smooth sounds from artists like The Amanda Castro Band, Scott Wilkie, and Spencer Day while sipping curated wine flights and indulging in treats (additional fee applies).
Festivalgoers in search of toe-tapping rhythms and heartfelt performances will enjoy Southern Nights: Country & Blues, taking place Friday evenings from July 11 through August 29. This lively series brings the spirit of the South to summer nights with blues riffs, country tunes, and feel-good vibes. Highlights include performances by The Salty Suites, honky-tonk standout Victoria Bailey, and acclaimed blues artist Eric Lindell.
Saturday afternoons from July 5 through August 9 come alive with Concerts on the Green, a vibrant daytime series showcasing award-winning jazz and funk performances on the Festival’s picturesque outdoor stage, surrounded by art and ocean breezes. Returning by popular demand are celebrated performers such as Poncho Sanchez, Grace Kelly, and Brian Bromberg.
As the sun sets on Saturdays, the energy continues with Tribute Saturdays, running July 5 through August 16. This evening series will bring the sounds of rock and pop legends back to life with high-energy tribute acts such as Surf City All Stars, Gypsy Dreams (a tribute to Fleetwood Mac), and The Cream of Clapton Band.
Closing out the weekend at the Festival of Arts is Soulful Sundays, a series dedicated to soul, R&B, and gospel-infused jazz. From bluesy ballads to uplifting rhythms, patrons will experience smooth vocals and rich rhythms of artists like Derek Bordeaux, Adryon de León, and Terry Steele as they take the stage from July 6 through August 24.
