Held weekly May 18th through September 7th from 7-8:30pm, the Friday Night Concerts are Chico's best place to hear live, local music for free. Located in City Plaza, in the heart of downtown, the concerts offer entertainment to suit every musical preference - styles range from blues to swing and from country to reggae.
June – August, the Chico Art Center hosts “Art in the Park” a free interactive activity for kids.
