From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Long Beach offers over 800 free or low-cost cultural programs, sports activities and special events throughout the City. “100 Days of Summer” is a partnership between the City of Long Beach Parks, Recreation and Marine and the Long Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau to bring you unprecedented access to all Long Beach has to offer this summer.
“100 Days of Summer” kicks off on Friday, May 25, with a performance by 80Z Allstars, the premiere 80’s tribute act in Southern California. From Devo and Bon Jovi to Rick Springfield and Duran Duran, the band covers all the great 80’s music. So style your hair big, wear your bright colors and jelly bracelets and get ready for a great night of fun with family and friends.
The concert will be held at Marine Stadium, on Appian Way between Second and Colorado Streets. The fun will begin at 5 pm with bouncers, face painting, caricaturists, balloon artists and family games leading up to the 80Z Allstars performance at 6 pm. Admission is free. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and picnic dinners and relax on the lawn for a great evening of family fun.
The “100 Days of Summer” campaign encourages residents to “stay and play” in Long Beach. The website www.100daysofsummer.org is a one-stop information source for detailed suggestions of great summer activities happening every day from Memorial Day to Labor Day in Long Beach.
The website is full of program listings for free concerts and movies, Long Beach Sea Festival events, the El Dorado Nature Center, Rancho Los Cerritos and Rancho Los Alamitos historic sites, and ideas for spontaneous fun like biking, golf, tennis, kayaking swimming, and free drop-in youth and teen programs, and much more.
