2024 Free Concerts In Orange County

2023 Free Concerts In Orange County

One of the best things about living in Orange County is all the free events that are offered year-round! And this definitely includes so many fun activities to take advantage of during the summer months. The annual OC Parks summer concert series is one of my favorite events…. perfect for all ages!

Throughout the summer, they have a free concert series, and I seriously love to attend and listen to live music in Orange County. This is seriously a favorite summer pastime of mine. It brings back so many happy memories! And who doesn’t enjoy free concerts (and free parking)?

A great thing about the summer concert series is that they happen during the coolest parts of the day, so you don’t have to worry about getting too hot. Plus, many of the locations offer the best atmosphere (at some of my favorite regional parks) to enjoy a night out! The outdoor concerts have red-hot tribute bands that play classic rock or today’s favorites. If you are in the mood for a free summer concert, keep reading to see what’s happening in many of the Orange and OC parks.
