No Summer Concert Series in 2024

Posted on January 14th, 2024 by Campbell Library

For the first time in many years, the City of Campbell won't be hosting any summer concerts on the Orchard City Green in front of the Ainsley House. If you look at the photo above, you'll see the reason why.

The renovation of the Campbell Library is fully underway and and won't be finished in time for the Summer Concert Series to return for 2024. Additionally, a new Campbell Police building is scheduled to break ground on January 25, 2024 so there's going to be even more construction going on at City Hall besides the Library renovations.

This only affects the Thursday evening music series in front of the Ainsley House that is typically held over two months in the summer. Anything that's street music or music at smaller nearby venues won't be affected.
