Eclectic Sounds Come To San Dimas This Summer

The 2008 San Dimas Music in the Park concert line up brings a wonderful variety of music to Civic Center Park. The concerts take place every Wednesday beginning June 25 beginning at 7 pm. Civic Center Park is located at 245 Bonita Avenue in San Dimas. Here is a brief look at each band that is performing this year.

July 30 - THE ANSWER - More than 10 years have passed since they first started playing in the Park, and we still can't get enough of them. Gathering tunes from the '60's to the present, they seemingly do it all.

August 6 - KOPY KATS Featuring DONOVAN as Elvis. Debuting with his celebrated backup band Donovan opens the set with some great standards. Taking to the stage in full regalia, Donovan brings Elvis Alive!

August 13 - BETTER CHEMISTRY - Fresh from "bringing the house down" at the House of Blues," this 9 piece reggae band returns to San Dimas to rock the town. Incorporating horns, electric guitar, percussion and a jumping, turntable DJ, they take the Rastafarian mantra to new heights.

For more information please call the City of San Dimas Parks and Recreation Department at 909-394-6230.
