CCAE’s first drive-in concert begins Friday

A drive-In concert will be held at Westfield North County August 14-16 with a mixture of movie showings and live music performances.

The Rockin’ Retro Drive-In Show at the mall will be the first two concerts in the Center’s Drive-In Series held during August and possibly extending into fall.

California Center for the Arts, Escondido is introducing a new drive-in LIVE concert and movie series with a weekend of retro entertainment. The weekend will open with a showing of the classic retro movie musical “Grease” (August 14).  The weekend will close with a performance by Jersey Boys stars Christian Hoff & Travis Cloer in a Rockin’ Retro Drive-In Show (August 15 & 16).  

Each event will be held in the former Nordstrom parking lot at Westfield North County. All shows start at 8 p.m., and the parking lot will be open for concert-goers starting at 6:30 p.m. Spaces are available for over 250 vehicles while keeping listeners at a safe distance. Tickets are available online at artcenter.org/events, or by calling 800-988-4253. 

As the non-profit community & cultural heartbeat of North County San Diego, the Center depends on the generosity of arts-lovers to keep it vibrant and thriving.  Each ticket purchase goes toward supporting artists.  A percentage of the proceeds from each ticket will be benefiting the Escondido Community Foundation and the Central San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce Foundation.
