Manhattan Beach Concerts in the Park
The Manhattan Beach Concerts in the Park series is an annual, summer-long event held each year at Polliwog Park. It runs from the last week in June through Labor Day weekend.

These performances are open seating and free to the public. There are no dogs, barbecues or wheeled vehicles allowed at any time in the concert area. Pop-up (open air) tents and umbrellas are allowed in the concert area before and after the concerts only.  All such items must come down during the concert. We also recommend low backed beach chairs so you do not obstruct the view of those behind you.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
