2009 San Mateo Central Park Music Series
Howdy,
In my “Events in June” Blog post I announced the first of the 2009 San Mateo Central Park Music Series Concerts, better known as Music in the Park. I attended most of the concerts last year and the first one for this year, last Thursday (and will be each Thursday from now until the beginning of August). The event was a huge success with easily a thousand attendees. I had a great time with my mom and girlfriend as we listened to funk/disco/80’s music by Disco Funk Crutch. The music and atmosphere was great for people of all ages and backgrounds. Kids rushed the dance floor as the first note was played while parents watched from the side, people socialized with their neighboring concert-goers, foodies shared the best menu items from each booth, and so on.
The food booths were great and operated by such vendors as Astaria Restaurant, Pizza-My-Heart, Pasta Primavera, The Melting Pot, Rave Burger, 3 Bees Coffee, and Pasta Pasta. My family enjoyed some food we brought from home as well as two awesome sandwiches from Astaria’s booth!
Another cool feature was instead of just having garbage cans they had “waste stations” where a volunteer from ReThink Waste would tell you how to properly throw away your trash to reduce waste. I never knew how many things were compostable and according to our nearest ReThink waste volunteer Allied Waste will be no longer our garbage provider in 2010 and a new company will be taking over that will allow us to throw paper items into our green landscape waste boxes which will be composted!

Sounds great about the music concert. Hope I could enjoy it.
Hey Bass,
It is a really great concert; arguably one of the best events in San Mateo. I look forward to it every year.

I love the Music in the Park but now I have to come down from SF for it (use to live in SM). Anyway, thanks for the notices…I will try to make the next one!

There is no better way to spend an afternoon than listening to music in a park.
I love community music programs for a lot of reasons, first and foremost the music. Secondly, it gets people involved and out and about. Thanks for your insights.

One of the best things about the blogging community is all the things people freely share. Thanks!
I love free concerts outdoors. Not only do you get to enjoy the music, you also get a sense of community.
Sounds like a great day… kids and parents, neighbors all socialising. Just like the old days, huh? Nothing like music to bind us together. I’ll try to go this year, I promise!
