Lots of free music this weekend. On Saturday, July 11, at 2 p.m. at Recreation Park, Shoreline Symphonic Winds will present the first of a series of performances. Formerly known as Long Beach Community Band, the 61 year old volunteer group changed its name to avoid confusion with the Long Beach Municipal Band. The repertoire includes contemporary concert favorites such as big band classics.
Meanwhile on Sunday on Pine Avenue downtown, The Long Beach Gospel Fest will take to the streets from 11 am to 4 pm. The street will be closed down from 1st Street to Broadway. Local choirs and invited soloists will perform all afternoon and some restaurants will offer special brunch menus. A percentage of the proceeds will be donatd to the 2010 Martin Luther King Jr. Peace and Unity Celebration.
