The San Jacinto Music Series free concerts take place at The Plaza, 115 S. San Jacinto St., a vibrant outdoor setting featuring a charming, paved alleyway and plenty of open space to relax and enjoy the show. Guests are encouraged to fully experience the music, dance, sing along, interact with the artists and even request their favorite songs.
