Music in the Park: Free Outdoor Concerts for the Community

Music in the Park is a cherished summer tradition hosted by the Redwood Heights Association, welcoming neighbors from across Oakland and beyond to enjoy free, live outdoor concerts in a relaxed and family-friendly setting. Held a few times each summer at Redwood Heights Park, each event features talented local musicians performing a range of genres—from soul and funk to rock, jazz, and more.

Bring a picnic, grab a blanket or lawn chair, and settle in for an evening of music, connection, and community spirit. With plenty of open space, a casual vibe, and great local talent, Music in the Park is a joyful way to enjoy summer evenings in Oakland, fostering connections with people and creating a vibrant, welcoming community.

Registration isn’t required, but we encourage RSVPs so we can plan accordingly. (Registration links coming soon!)

What should I bring?
Feel free to bring a picnic, blanket, lawn chair, and anything else you need to enjoy a relaxing evening outdoors. Please leave alcohol at home, as it’s not permitted in Redwood Heights Park.

Are dogs allowed?
We love dogs. Really, we do. But Redwood Heights Park is a space where kids run, roll, and play, and families spread out blankets and relax on the grass.

No one wants to step in dog poop while enjoying time at the park.

To help keep the park clean and safe for everyone, dogs are not allowed in the park, per Oakland Charter 6.04.080.

Thanks for helping keep the park clean and fun for everyone.
