WEST SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Ten years since the City of West Sacramento hosted its ‘Harmony on the River’ summer concerts, the Parks and Recreation Department will be bringing back the free monthly concert series to the Riverwalk lawn.

There will be food trucks and family activities to take part in.
The concerts will take place from 5:30pm – 9pm on 5/26, 6/30, 7/28, and 8/25. If you’ve never been to The Barn, it’s good to know that parking is limited so the city encourages you to use West Sacramento Via or RideShare.

The schedule will run as follows: 5/26 will be The Neverland Band and Azucal. The Neverland Band plays all of your favorite rock covers from the 80’s and 90’s.
