Join us for an old-fashioned, family-style celebration in Devendorf Park across from Carmel Plaza on Ocean Avenue with Monterey County Pops! that will debut its return with a live performance on July Fourth in Carmel.

Monterey County Pops! This year's concert opens with a performance by Estillo Eficiente under the direction of Eliodoro Vallecillo ("Lolo") setting a lively and beautiful tone for the day.
