Whether you attend one or all seven, we are sure you will have a great time! As always, admission and parking are free. (Additional parking held at Santa Anita Race Track, Gate 5.) Concerts take place on Thursday evenings from 6:30-8pm on beautiful City Hall West Lawn located at 240 West Huntington Drive.

From Swing to Swank, The Wiseguys Big Band Machine is an 18-piece ensemble dedicated to keeping great music alive. For 20 yrs this Montebello, California-based big band features a screamin' horn line, talented vocalists, exciting soloists, and a roarin' rhythm section. Their repertoire includes the swingin' vocal tunes of Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, dean Martin and Peggy Lee, big band favorites from Glenn Miller, Pérez Prado and Buddy Rich; and The Wiseguys keep audiences on their feet and dancing with classic mambos and cumbias, and great dance music from the 50's and 60's.
