We hope you will join us this Friday, July 11th for the second concert of our 2025 free outdoor summer music season! We’re thrilled to present an evening of globe-spanning live music featuring Mbira
dzaSoko and
Extra Large.
PRM concerts are held every second Friday of the month through September in downtown Point Richmond (Park
Place between West Richmond and Washington Avenues) from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM.
An all-volunteer nonprofit organization, PRM’s mission is to build community through the shared experience of live music. Each event features two bands, food trucks, local restaurants, and a wine, beer & margarita bar—proceeds from which support the music series.
Limited festival-style seating is available, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs. For more details, visit
