The Downtown Chico Business Association is proud to bring back one of Chico’s most cherished summer traditions, the Friday Night Concert Series! Since 1978, this free, family friendly concert series has brought the community together through music, dancing, and summertime joy in the heart of Downtown Chico.

Bring Your Dinner, Stay for the Music!
Grab takeout from your favorite downtown restaurant and enjoy your meal picnic-style in the Plaza while the band plays. Support local restaurants and soak up the music-filled summer atmosphere.

Whether you’re dancing under the stars or relaxing with friends and family, there’s no better place to be on a summer Friday night than Downtown Chico. Bring your appetite, your friends, your dancing shoes, and let’s make it a summer to remember!
