Dana Point City Council has approved plans for a new summer concert series aimed at boosting community engagement and local revenue. During the meeting on February 18, 2025, organizers highlighted their commitment to delivering high-quality events that resonate with the community's love for classic rock music.

The concert series, which is expected to feature renowned artists, aims to attract both residents and visitors, generating an estimated $200,000 to $400,000 in revenue for the city through sales tax and rental fees. The organizers emphasized their local roots, with a musical director who is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has deep connections to South Orange County.

Council members expressed enthusiasm for the initiative, noting the potential for the concert series to become a staple in the community, with plans for future events possibly exploring different musical themes, including country music. The organizers assured the council that the events would be well-planned, immersive experiences, not just concerts, but gatherings that celebrate the good life in Dana Point.

The council's approval marks a significant step towards revitalizing local entertainment options and fostering a sense of community pride. As the city prepares for this new venture, residents can look forward to a summer filled with music, camaraderie, and economic benefits.
