Major improvements to the Amphitheater at Farnsworth Park

The 14th Annual Summer Concerts in Farnsworth Park just became much more comfortable for both the attendees and the artists.

The center section of the amphitheater is the last section to receive all new wood seating. Also, the dirt underneath the seats has been concreted over. It's now much cleaner then ever before.

In addition to the new seating throughout the amphitheater we now have a beautiful, brand new concrete stage for our performers to play on. Equipment set up and tear down will be easier now. Sod will be installed around the perimeter of the new stage.

A big thank you to Angie Calleros (Farnsworth Park Supervisor) and her crew at Farnsworth as well as County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation for a great job!

Exciting new additions to the 2010 Summer Concert Series

The Sheriff's Support Group of Altadena is proud to announce new partnerships with local Altadena businesses to enhance the 14th Annual Summer Concert Series in Farnsworth Park.

The Coffee Gallery will be showcasing family friendly professional comedians who will serve as the MC for each of the concert dates adding a new dimension to the evening's performance. In addition they will be also serving their specialty coffees throughout the evening. We're hoping some of the coffee will be iced!

Also new this year is our partnership with Amy's Patio Cafe. For the first time concert attendees will be able to pre-order delicious boxed picnic dinners to be enjoyed under the stars while our performers dazzle us with their musical selections. Click on Amy's link for the full menu.
