Celebrating a Successful

2024 Concerts at the Cove Series

The Solana Beach "Concerts at the Cove" series has officially wrapped up for the season. We want to extend a huge thank you to the community for your incredible support and to the Solana Beach Parks and Recreation crew and the Belly Up for their hard work in delivering another successful concert series. This unique beachside event has become a highly anticipated tradition, bringing the community together every Thursday throughout the summer. With a fantastic lineup of talented artists, every show was filled with energy and excitement. It was a joy to see everyone come together to enjoy the music and summer fun. We had an amazing time, and we hope you did too! We can't wait to see you all again next year.

Here are some photos from last Thursday's grand finale to relive the memories
