Santa Clara’s Central Park Concerts are back for another season of free, family-friendly fun under the stars. 

Every Friday evening from June 28 to August 16, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., Central Park will be transformed into a vibrant concert venue.

The season kicks off tonight, June 28, with a performance by The Peelers, who are not a typical cover band. 

The Peelers are the San Francisco Bay Area’s riveting cover band sensation, known for creating unique, high-energy sets.

They blend the latest hits on the radio with the best from all genres. The Eurythmics flow into Depeche Mode and then into Usher. Or a mash-up that layers Bon Jovi with Michael Jackson. 

The rest of the summer lineup promises something for everyone – 80s and 90s dance party vibes, sizzling salsa and the ultimate dance party finale. 

A variety of food vendors will be on-site throughout the series, including Kona Ice, Cruising Café, and BBQ Kalbi.
