The 2023 season of the TGIF Concerts in the Parks in Carlsbad starts July 7. As a result here is the Bands Update.
Free live music in a beautiful Carlsbad park on a Friday summer evening is a winning combination for summer entertainment!

The TGIF concerts are crowded. As a result it’s wise to arrive early for the best parking and for seats up front. Venues open at 5 pm. Furthermore, you can plan on walking a distance if you arrive close to concert time!
There are free shuttles at most venues. You’ll find signage telling you where to go. Shuttles run until 9 pm.
In addition there’s a new FREE bike valet service, too.
Plus, be aware no food or beverages will be sold at the concerts this year. As a result it’s all BYO!
