Pleasanton Downtown Association | |
Concerts in the Park
Concerts in the Park series is back with a full summer of incredible music and fun for all ages! Concerts will take place every Friday night from June 7 through August 30, featuring an eclectic mix of music from rock, blues and country to 50’s and 60’s oldies, soul, and more. The free concerts run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and take place at Lions Wayside Park on the corner of First and Neal Streets.
Patrons are encouraged to pick up dinner “to go” from one of Downtown Pleasanton's many restaurants and bring it with them to the park. Be sure to visit the PDA’s social media pages throughout Concert in the Park season for specials and offers from the wide variety of wonderful Downtown restaurants.
While guests are allowed to put out blankets and chairs (at their own risk) in Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks, they are asked to wait until the morning of the concert to do so. The use of rocks to hold down blankets is prohibited, as large rocks can damage lawn-mowing equipment. Also, the use of plastic tarps, which can burn the grass, is not allowed.

Textures of my Father,
2021 by Terri Trang Lê
| |
Museum on Main Welcomes New Exhibit
The new traveling exhibit, Textures of Remembrance: Vietnamese Artists and Writers Reflect on the Vietnamese Diaspora, explores a date that impacts many Vietnamese Americans: April 30, 1975, the end of the Vietnam War. Featuring works by 25 Vietnamese artists and writers, these narratives texturize the Vietnamese diasporic experience, in which refugees are not objects of rescue but instead subjects of artistic and political transformation. Textures of Remembrance will be on view through September 21.
