The first of the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District and the Hayward Odd Fellows 15th Annual Concert in the Park Series is coming on Sunday, Aug. 3. The series pairs nine local bands with nine local nonprofit organizations to support the important work these organizations do in the community.
This first concert showcases the Giant Garage Spiders and will benefit the Family Emergency Shelter Coalition (FESCO). The band is a long-time favorite with FESCO supporters for its lively repertoire of music.
Attendees should bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets. Chef and councilmember Francisco Zermeno will be crafting affordable bites for purchase at the event.
All donations and proceeds from food and raffle sales will be used by FESCO for its programs to provide shelter, food, case management and resources to guide families toward self-sufficiency and finding a place they can call home. Learn more about FESCO by visiting fescofamilyshelter.org.
The free concerts are held in Memorial Park next to the Hayward Plunge. Free parking is available onsite. For a complete list of dates, bands and nonprofit organizations featured in this summer concert series, visit haywardlodge.org.
