Hello Music Lovers! The 48th Oregon Coast Music Festival kicks off with a milestone. This July 11, the Bay Area Concert Band celebrates its 50th anniversary with a free outdoor concert at Mingus Park Amphitheater — and we can't think of a better way to open the festival. Directed by Stephen Simpkins, with special guest Aaron Johnson on clarinet and saxophone, this is the kind of afternoon that reminds you why live music in a beautiful place is worth every bit of effort to get there. Saturday, July 11 · Noon · Mingus Park Amphitheater, Coos Bay · Free Make your reservations ahead of time so that you can head over to Bandon afterward — Aaron Johnson and his ensemble move to Angelo's Italy in Bandon at 5 pm for an evening of jazz. #freeevents #oregoncoastmusicfestival #coosbay #oregoncoast #LiveMusicOregon
