Free 'Concerts at the Cove'

The East Bay Regional Park District is once again hosting its free Concerts at the Cove music series at Crab Cove.

Concert goers can bring a picnic or visit one of the food vendors like Calafia Taqueria for a fresh tostada or head over to the Café Jolie booth for grilled hot dogs and sausages. Alameda’s “Spirits Alley” will be well represented with pours from Rockwall Wine Company and Faction Brewing, along with R & B Cellars and Rosenblum Cellars. Members of the Rotary Club of Alameda will be staffing the beverage tables and proceeds from beverage sales will go to the Club’s community grants program. For kids of all ages, Peter’s Kettle Corn will be popping up delicious kettle corn.

The Crab Cove Visitors Center will be open during the performance so folks can learn about the plant, animal, and aquatic life that inhabit the bay. The public is encouraged to take public transportation or bike to the event. Free, secure, valet bike parking will be provided by the Alameda Interact Club. Vehicle parking is located at the main entrance to Crown Beach at the corner of 8th Street and Otis Drive.

On July 10th, Patron will bring its Latin Rhythm sounds to Crab Cove and local Reggae band Soulstice will perform on August 14th. For more information, contact Concert Chairman Jeff Cambra at jeffcambra@earthlink.net or phone (510) 865-3636.
