Capitola is celebrating the return of summer with the return of the Wednesday nights Twilight Concerts series and other fun events.

For the last two summers due to the pandemic the Twilight Concerts have been canceled, curtailed, and zoomed. Now that large outdoor gatherings are safe again the

Twilight Concerts are scheduled to return on June 15, from 6 to 8 p.m., beginning with the band Sasha’s Money.

Each Wednesday night thereafter until Aug. 31, the bands performing will be, in order: Extra Large, John Michael Band, Mike Hammar & The Nails, The Joint Chiefs Band, Live Again, Santa Cruz Latin Collective, Billy Martini Show, Jive Machine, Dirty Cello, B-Movie Kings, and, ending on Aug. 31 with the Digbeats.

Come out to see, hear, and dance to your favorite band playing your favorite genre of music whether it be blues, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, salsa & latin, or classic rock.

The bands perform at the Capitola Village Esplanade Park bandstand and the admission is free.

The Twilight Concerts would not be possible without the generous donations from our sponsors: Green Waste Recovery, Devcon Construction, Capitola Mall, Lanai Financial Solutions, Capitola Beach Suites, Steve & Dianne Pereira, Marriott Fairfield Inn, and Best Western. Thanks to all the sponsors for making the Twilight Concerts possible.

It’s such a beautiful setting on the Monterey Bay to attend an outdoor concert, to enjoy the scenery, and to feel the sounds. Bring a blanket and picnic on the beach or enjoy one of the fine dining establishments in Capitola Village. Even though it’s summer, bring a jacket because the fog may embrace you.

In addition to the Twilight Concerts there will be Sunday Art at the Beach from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 26, July 10, July 31, and Aug. 14. On these select Sundays, there will be booths with quality artwork including painting, photography, sculpture, jewelry and mixed media from local artists. If you arrive early, you may be serenaded by the impromptu ukulele players.
