What to expect

Planning a visit to Spreckels Temple of Music

Choose the bandshell for an informal outdoor Sunday concert in the Music Concourse rather than an indoor reserved-seat performance. Confirm the date and weather status, seating plan, accessibility route, park transportation or parking, any special-event instructions, and whether bringing a chair or blanket is appropriate for that program.
