The concerts are performed in Orinda Community Park at 28 Orinda Way.
Movies
In 2018, Orinda allowed for public input into the decision on which movies to show over the summer in the park. Following a survey, the following lineup was decided:
June 14 Beauty and the Beast
June 28 Despicable Me
July 12 Mary Poppins
July 26 Coco
August 9 Wonder
The films will be shown at dusk on the selected Thursdays. The usual food truck event will be available from 4 p.m. Together, the two programs constitute Orinda's unique version of "dinner and a movie" for family fun.
Both the Concerts in the Park and the Movies in the Park are sponsored by the Orinda Parks and Recreation Foundation with support from the Orinda Community Foundation, the Rotary Club of Orinda, and the city of Orinda.
