Our neighbors to the south in Marina del Rey have their outdoor free concert series coming up in July. Weekly concerts alternate the 75-member Marina del Rey Summer Symphony with “yacht rock” easy listening shows. All of the concerts are free to the public and a nice excuse for packing a picnic in the park. Water taxi service is available from one side of the Marina to the other, and a fun way to start and end the evening when visiting from Venice.
