For 33 years, Chico's favorite summertime tradition has been the Friday Night Concerts. Held weekly May 21st through September 10th from 7-8:30pm, the Friday Night Concerts are Chico's best place to hear live, local music for free. Located in City Plaza, in the heart of downtown, the concerts offer entertainment to suit every musical preference - styles range from blues to swing and from country to reggae.
ART IN THE PARK IS BACK! Children will enjoy this free, creative outlet during the concerts most weeks in June, July and August. “Art in the Park” is sponsored and hosted by the Chico Art Center whose instructors coordinate new and exciting projects each week. Creations are appropriate for children of all ages and use a range of mediums. Projects include mosaics, masks, watercolor, collages and more.
