About This Event
The Third Street Promenade comes alive on weekends with live music from street performers and visiting musicians. You'll hear everything from jazz and classical guitar to rock covers and world music across the three pedestrian-only blocks. Performances are free to watch, and the atmosphere makes for a lively stroll between shops and restaurants. Performers rotate throughout the day, so there's always something new to hear.
