Summer in Los Gatos is a joy - there's so much to do, and most of it doesn't cost a dime, thanks to the generosity of many sponsors.  There are three free music concert series in Los Gatos, and together they provide a wide spectrum of musical styles and entertainment.  Included are jazz, classical, rock & roll tribute bands, and much more.

Below please find the combined schedule - I have done my best to make it accurate but cannot guarantee anything so please double check with the website for each of the series. If you're here over Independence Day weekend, you're in for a double treat as there are 2 concerts on July 4th!
