Pro tip: Don’t make any plans for Friday evenings from May 5 through July 21, because you’ll most definitely want to be at Cesar Chavez Plaza in downtown Sacramento every week to experience Concerts in the Park’s epic lineup, which we have revealed for you below.
From the dark and intense electronic vibes of local heroes Rituals of Mine (formerly known as Sister Crayon), to the legendary MC skills of Del the Funky Homosapien, to ska-punk staples Mad Caddies, to the genre-bending R&B stylings of R.LUM.R, CIP’s 2017 lineup is a seriously legit blend of touring national artists and established local bands.
In an exclusive interview with Submerge, Sureena Johl, events manager of Downtown Sacramento Partnership said, “We can’t wait to rock another season of Concerts in the Park. This year’s lineup is packed with an incredible range of both national and regional talent!”
Johl went on to say, “This season is going to be an unforgettable experience for everyone, on and off the stage. I’m especially excited about everything we’ve planned to expand on and complement the music. From artists to makers, retailers and vendors, Concerts in the Park is going to be the best local festival in town, every Friday in the park.”
