A major standout this year was the Polynesian Festival on July 16, which invited residents to experience the vibrant music, culture, and traditions of the Pacific Islands.

The City of Los Alamitos Recreation and Community Services Department has concluded another vibrant and successful Summer Concert Series. Running weekly on Thursday evenings from June 11 through August 6, 2026, this free community event brought together families, friends, and neighbors for an evening of live music, delicious food, giveaways, and child-friendly entertainment through Mobile Rec.

Hosted from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. the Concert Series rotated across several local venues including Little Cottonwood Park, Orville R. Lewis Jr. Park, and the downtown strip of Pine Street between Florista St. and Katella Ave. This year’s series was made possible through the generous support of Community Sponsor Randy W. Hill Real Estate.

Every Thursday, locals and fans arrived early to stake out the best spots with their lawn chairs and picnic blankets. As the crowds grew, the space quickly transformed, with hundreds of people relaxing and soaking up the summer vibes. While bands completed their final soundchecks, visitors took full advantage of the wide array of local food trucks and community booths.
