Richard March and his band take the stage for the next Music in the Park. Just off the release of his new critically acclaimed CD, "Levee Road," Richard March and his band will perform on Sunday, July 29, with Mister Cooper providing music for the kids. The kids performance starts at 6:15 p.m. and music on the main stage goes from 6:30-9 p.m.

The Hucklebucks perform on Sunday, Aug. 26, as they return to Curtis Park with their trademark blend of jump blues and swing music. Mister Cooper will once again entertain on the Children's Stage.

Every great show always features an encore, so new this year is a fourth event on Saturday, Sept. 29. The Picnic in the Park festival will feature live music, performances by the Sacramento Youth Ballet and Ka Waikahe Lani Malie Dancers, roving children's entertainment and an art show featuring area artisans.
