Parking, biking and more important information for Symphony in the Cities Aug. 5

pacific symphony

Symphony in the Cities and Prelude in the Park returns to the Village Green at 4 pm Saturday, August 5 at Oso Viejo Community Park, 24932 Veterans Way.

With an "Under the Sea” theme, guests will enjoy a picturesque park filled with colorful fish and sea-themed decor. Patrons can learn about preserving the world’s oceans at the Wyland Foundation’s Mobile Learning Experience; dig for real shark teeth and other treasures in a big sand pit; enjoy live entertainment by Surf City Allstars; savor delectable fare from several food trucks; and revel in live music with renowned Music Director Carl St.Clair and Pacific Symphony. Guests will also play games with family and friends and visit community booths. Come meet Ariel, Sebastian the crab, and Ursula and enjoy a special storytime for the little ones. Social media users are also encouraged to take a fun short video at the 360-degree camera.

Patrons can begin placing blankets and chairs after 1 pm. The free event is from 4 to 8 pm.

The City is encouraging residents to stay environmentally-friendly and bike to the event. Bike racks will be provided in a secure location with a guard.

The City is also challenging the community to forego single-use plastic bottles. Take a simple step to help save the oceans by bringing your own reusable water bottle and filling it for free in our refilling stations. Show your water bottle at the Cultural Services booth during the Prelude for a chance to win a gift certificate to Captain Dave’s Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari in Dana Point.

Parking is available at the event and shuttle service will be provided from the Civic Center to the Village Green from 4 to 9 pm.

The City is encouraging guests to wear sea-themed costumes and outfits. There will be many photo opportunities and surprises, so use #undertheseamv and tag the City (@missionviejolife) for a chance to be shared on the City’s Instagram stories.

We don't have any little ones so the Symphony will be the main event for us. It's our first time attending. Can you give me an idea what time the Symphony will take the stage?
