We are approaching a very exciting time in California: Election Day! This will be our chance to participate in the 2016 Presidential Primary, as well as the plethora of state and local races and initiatives. As an elected official, I have experienced firsthand the importance of contributing to the electoral process; every vote counts! I encourage you to be diligent in your research of each candidate and issue, and vote with confidence.

Each concert event will offer free live music under the summer sky on Thursday evenings from June 30 through September 1.
“This year’s Summer Concert Series promises to be the best one yet,” Lisa Bartlett, Chairwoman of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, said. “These concerts provide a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages to come enjoy the sounds of summer in a beautiful, outdoor setting. And best of all, it’s free.”
All of the OC Parks Summer Concert Series events take place from 6 to 8 p.m. All are free to attend and offer free parking. Food trucks will be serving on-site at each location. Guests may bring their own food, and alcohol consumption by those 21 and over is permitted.
