Commitment to accessibility
The Community Engagement department is committed to developing free and low-cost public programs that represent, welcome, and connect the many communities across Southern California. We collaborate with local creators to offer collective experiences for all to enjoy, from dance classes to outdoor concerts and cultural festivals. Our programs are designed by and for people of all backgrounds.
Summer Sounds
Summer Sounds is a free, all-ages, sunset concert series happening Friday nights in June and July! Featuring an energetic lineup of multi-genre talents, this specially curated program brings some of Southern California’s most unique and eclectic artists to the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza. What better way to spend a summer evening than by bringing your beach chairs, picnic blankets, enjoying libations and light bites from George’s Café and dancing the night away!
Community classes & events
Since its opening in 2017, we have welcomed over 100,000 visitors to the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza at more than 400 free and low-cost events. Voted “Best New Community Gathering Space” by Orange Coast Magazine, Argyros Plaza is home to many of our public programs, including wellness workshops, movie nights, dance classes, family events, cultural festivals, and an annual summer concert series.
