Recreation manager previews busy summer in Mission Viejo, including concerts and parade
Summary
Community Services Manager Drew Fine outlined a series of summer events — concerts on the green (first drew ~1,000), a July 11 parade, luau night market, barbecue music festival (July 10–12) and symphony on Aug. 8 — and encouraged residents to attend and use available flyers.
Drew Fine, filling in for Mark Nix, told the commission Mission Viejo’s parks and recreation calendar is full for the summer. He said the first Concert on the Green drew about 1,000 attendees and predicted several upcoming events will draw larger crowds: Tijuana Dogs on July 17 (expected thousands), another concert July 31, a July 10–12 barbecue music festival, a large July 11 parade starting at 9 a.m. and the symphony on Aug. 8. Fine also previewed the luau night market and pool parties and encouraged the public to check flyers in the lobby for details.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions on event dates and logistics, and staff confirmed a number of events will rely on existing park facilities and typical crowd‑management practices. Fine said the commission’s responsibilities include advising on programming and noting that the summer schedule is packed because the commission will be dark in July.
No commission action was required; the update was informational.
