From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the City of Long Beach offers hundreds of free or low-cost cultural programs, sports activities and special events throughout the city through a program called “100 Days of Summer,” as a partnership between the Parks, Recreation & Marine Department and the Long Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau.
” With over 800 events this summer in Long Beach, you will have plenty of fun and exciting activities to choose from to stay entertained,” Mayor Bob Foster said. “The City of Long Beach is pulling out all the stops to provide something for everyone this summer.”
“100 Days of Summer” kicks off on Friday, May 25, with a performance by 80Z Allstars, an ’80s tribute act. The band covers music from the decade that includes Devo, Bon Jovi, Rick Springfield and Duran Duran.
The event will take place at Marine Stadium, on Appian Way between Second and Colorado streets, beginning at 5pm with bouncers, face painting, caricaturists, balloon artists and family games leading up to the 80Z Allstars performance at 6pm. Admission is free. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and picnic dinners and relax on the lawn for the show.
The “100 Days of Summer” campaign encourages residents to “stay and play” in Long Beach. The website 100daysofsummer.org is a one-stop information source for detailed suggestions of great summer activities happening every day from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
