    Don't miss the Smooth Jazz Series at City Center Bishop Ranch! The series will take place on Saturday evenings, July 11, 18, and 25 at 7pm. Here is the lineup of artists:


    July 11 - Paul Taylor (Saxaphone)
    July 18 - David Benoit (Piano)
    July 25 - Lee Ritnour (Guitar) 

    The concerts are FREE and open to the public.

    For a premium experience, you can enjoy reserved seating in front of the stage by booking a prix fixe meal before the show at one of our participating restaurants: LB Steak, Slanted Door, Alora Social, Meyhouse, Bamboo Sushi, or Khaki.

    Alternatively, enjoy patio seating at a City Center restaurant during the show (note that visibility may be limited), or grab dinner to go and enjoy it on the lawn in Alexander Square.


    Beer, wine, and cocktails will also be available for purchase. NO personal alcohol is allowed per ABC regulations. This will be strictly enforced. We appreciate your cooperation. Blankets are allowed on the lawn; however, chairs are not permitted on the lawn; back support like this may be used on the lawn. Visit our FAQs section at the bottom of the page for more details.
