Americana in the Park & Endless Summer C.A.M.P. Coming to Santa Monica Parks

Both event series are supported by the city’s Art of Recovery community grants initiative

Two event series, Endless Summer C.A.M.P. (Community, Art, Music, Picnic) and Americana in the Park, are bringing music and family-friendly activities to Santa Monica parks in August and September.

The second annual Endless Summer C.A.M.P. will feature world music, dance, puppetry, and animals from around the world for four Saturdays in August at Tongva Park, located at 1615 Ocean Ave. The family-friendly event, in partnership with Community Arts Resources (CARS), encourages attendees to pack a picnic, blankets, and beach chairs. Tongva Park offers amenities including a splash pad, playground, ocean observation deck, public art, and over 100 species of plants.

Event highlights include Bollywood dance on August 3, Philippine and Mexican dance on August 10, a puppet show and family music on August 17, and an animal showcase with youth bands on August 24.

In September, the fourth annual Americana in the Park series returns, presenting Americana music on Sundays at Gandara Park, located at 1819 Stewart St. The partnership with Santa Monica’s McCabe’s Guitar Shop will explore Americana music from its roots to modern forms, featuring a youth mariachi band, community sing-along, high-energy instrumentals, craft activities, and food trucks.

Americana in the Park will feature performances by Dustbowl Revival, Mariachi Los Catrines, Los Straitjackets, Rick Shea & Tony Gilkyson, Mustangs of the West, Molly Miller Trio, The Azar Lawrence Experience, Laurence Juber, and Airfoil.

Both event series are supported by the city’s Art of Recovery community grants initiative.
