These kid friendly music events staged by professional children's entertainers will raise money for preservation of San Francisco's Ocean Beach via the Surfrider Foundation through a suggested donation of $5.00 per person. Each donation will also enter the person in a raffle with prizes that will include dining gift certificates and Beach Chalet merchandise.
The "We Love Ocean Beach" concerts will take place at Park Chalet's outdoor lawn area which is nestled in Golden Gate Park, right behind the Beach Chalet and across the road form Ocean Beach, an already popular dining and hanging out destination for San Franciscans of all ages. Complementing the musical entertainment will be the availability of the Park Chalet?s outdoor BBQ menu which includes burgers, sausages and oysters and some wonderful local vendors selling their beach and children inspired crafts and wares.
The concept of "We Love Ocean Beach" family concerts was inspired by the Charity and the JAMband single, "Beach" (available as a free download), a tribute to beaches everywhere. The song recounts fantastical happenings like a wave you can ride all the way to the Arctic Ocean, dolphins that jump over the moon, and a sand castle that "grew so tall way up into the clouds and all around the world a hundred million times." The song culminates in a "magical, groovy night" spent on the beach surrounded by friends playing, singing and dancing. The JAMband will unveil a special Ocean Beach-ified sing-along version for the summer concert, with a chorus refrain, "We Love Ocean Beach!"
The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's oceans and beaches. Founded in 1984, the Foundation now has over 50,000 members with 1,200 of them in San Francisco Bay Area.
