Marine Band San Diego in Concert June 8, 2008

This year The Auto Gallery Porsche in association with Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) is proud to sponsor the 2008 Concerts in the Park.

For over eighty-five years, Marine Band San Diego has thrilled countless thousands throughout the country with its inspiring renditions of patriotic music, classical literature, Big Band and Top 40 favorites, and, of course, the marches of John Philip Sousa.

Since 1975, Valley Cultural Center has presented free Concerts in the Park. Initially presented in Shadow Ranch, by year two, Concerts in the Park moved to its current home in Warner Center Park, the 20-acre plot of land on Topanga Canyon Boulevard donated to the City of Los Angeles by the Harry Warner family. In 1993, the stage facility was dedicated as the Lou Bredlow Pavilion in honor of Valley Cultural Center's founder. A focal point for the Valley's summer entertainment, Concerts in the Park features rock, classical, jazz, R&B, Latino pop, country, cowboy, Dixieland, folk and more, entertains more than 140,000 Valley residents and visitors each year.

In addition to the outstanding talent, VCC has upgraded the Food Court to include sixteen vendors serving a variety of food and beverage to satisfy everyone in the crowd. The Children's Play Zone will also be upgraded to include bounce rides, clowns, face painting and balloon artists.

Parking is available for a $8 donation in three nearby parking structures; Califa street between Topanga and Owensmouth and Owensmouth Avenue between Oxnard and Califa. Proceeds help offset the cost of the concerts.

For more information or to become a member, park for FREE and receive incentives, contact VCC at (818) 704-1358 or visit www.valleycultural.org.
