What to Know
- Summer Concerts at Manhattan Village in Manhattan Beach
- July 11 through Aug. 29, 6 to 8 p.m. in the shopping center's Plaza area
- Free admission
"Summer" and "strummer" just happen to share a whole bunch of letters, but their distinctive meanings are worlds apart.
But wait... are they really? Well, yes; one is a season and one is a musician who strums, playing a stringed instrument with aplomb.
Still, these two concepts dovetail nicely when the weather is at its warmest, which is no surprise: We do love sitting back on a summer's evening as a live music performance delivers a few easygoing and uplifting hours.

It's true that several of Southern California's outdoor concert series launched earlier in the summer, but there are still a few to go, including one of the majors in Manhattan Beach.
In short, you haven't missed the boat on free music this summer: The multi-Thursday series will strum its first strum of 2024 on July 11 beginning at 6 o'clock.
The Summer Concerts series at Manhattan Village will, in fact, tap into summer's strum-a-bility each Thursday evening from July 11 through Aug. 29.
