The Point Richmond Summer Concert series starts Friday evening with performances by Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band (5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.) and Indian blues artist Aki Kumar (6:45 p.m. to 8 p.m.).
The free outdoor concert series’ highly anticipated return follows a two year pandemic pause. It takes place at Park Place between West Richmond and Washington Avenues.
Like in previous years, the concert series offers opportunities to dine at local restaurants and a rotating selection of food trucks. Concert-goers can also enjoy beverages served in biodegradable cups from Point Richmond Music’s no host bar, with proceeds directly supporting the music series.
“Festival-style seating is available with a limited number of chairs provided, and concert-goers are encouraged to bring their own festival/lawn chairs,” organizers said.
