Point Richmond Music’s (PRM) free music festival continues on Friday, July 14th, with Blü Egyptian and Barrio Manouche! PRM, an all-volunteer non-profit organization, produces the series in support of its mission to build community through the unifying language of music. The street series runs on the second Friday of each month through September, from 5:30pm to 7:45pm in historic downtown Point Richmond (Park Place between West Richmond and Washington Avenues).

Local restaurants offer a wide array of cuisines, and a rotating selection of food trucks pull up to each concert. Proceeds from PRM’s bar directly support the music series. Festival-style seating is available with a limited number of chairs provided, and concert-goers are encouraged to bring their own festival/lawn chairs.
