How does an afternoon drinking wine on the sand while listening to light guitar played by Catalina based artist James Moody sound?  How about reggae live on a beachfront stage with Pato Banton or maybe dancing in the sand to an ABBA review?   Still not sold, then try Jazz in the Casino Ballroom or a DJ at a beachfront bar.  There is practically something for every musical taste and it can all be enjoyed this fall on Catalina Island.

Mark your calendars and head for the island to enjoy a host of fabulous free performances.
