Here’s a little refresher of what to expect:

Each week until July 28 (except Fourth of July week), 4-5 acts will take the stage from 5-9 p.m., with Latin Grammy Award-nominated Kat Dahlia headlining the opening night. Artists span all genres and include big names like Blue October .

There will be a beer + wine garden, and concertgoers can also head to participating bars after the show ends for CIP Afterparty drink specials.
🍴 Grub
Local food trucks will be on hand each Friday. Last year’s offerings included Drewski’s , Taqueria El Taco Naco , and Zumapoke and Lush Ice .
