Carmel Plaza is inviting everyone to enjoy live music by the region’s most talented and popular musicians, sip on premier local wines and experience samplings of savory appetizers from local restaurants including Alvarado Street Brewery & Bistro and The Forge.
The five-week series kicks off Friday, June 30th from 5 – 7 PM with The Money Band, and will continue every Friday through July 28, 2023. In addition to live music, food, and wine, there will be raffle prizes from Carmel Plaza retailers, special extended hours at select stores, and informative opportunities through various local non-profit partnerships as well as this year’s Summer Live Music Series sponsor, Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. 10% of all ticket sales each Friday will be donated to that afternoon’s non-profit partner.
“We are excited to have the non-profits partnering with us again this year as well as welcoming back local favorites when it comes to the food and wine. We have a few new restaurants and wineries participating as well as a couple of performances by Carmel Dance Festival which we are really excited about.” Says Kristin Torrice, Carmel Plaza General Manager.
