A day full of train songs, with more adventures around Old Poway Park. All free! The Poway-Midland Railroad will be running the narrow-gauge vintage trains around the park for a nominal fee, which goes to support the nonprofit organization that maintains the railroad. The following is our schedule of performers on the Gazebo Stage: 10 a.m. - Hullabaloo. We will start the day with family-friendly folk fun from our friends at Hullabaloo. Grab something from the farmers market and bring the kids on over. 11 a.m. - Patty Hall. We have coaxed Patty out of her pandemic pause for this show. Her shows make people happy! Noon - Cowboy Jack. Cowboy Jack knows ALL the classic country songs, and knows how to deliver them so you know he means it. This man is the Real Deal. 1 p.m. - Sara Petite. She shows what a century of American music sounds like filtered through the psyche of a 21st century west coast woman. 2 p.m. - Clinton Davis. It is doubtful there is another San Diegan as versed in old time folk music repertoire, and certainly not one as skilled at so many instruments. We do not know if he will be playing guitar, banjo, fiddle, or his banjo-mandolin – but we know it will smoke! 3 p.m. - Tyler Grant. We are tickled to get this man on our stage for the first time. He is an icon in that world where Doc Watson and Jerry Garcia equally inspire guitar pickers, and we hope to see more of him, so make sure you stick around and say “Howdy”.

Summer Movies in the Park is the largest free and family-friendly outdoor movie series in San Diego County, with dozens of hosting sites and over a hundred screenings. It launched in 2007 as a ‘take back our parks’ initiative – in sync with the County’s Live Well vision to sustain safe, healthy and thriving communities. Shows run May through October, in neighborhoods from the beach to the desert, and everything in between. Each movie event gives residents a reason to visit their local parks after dark, deterring inappropriate loitering and park use, and bringing additional safety and security to residents’ favorite locales. Events begin as early as 5 p.m., though actual movie start times are 15 minutes after sunset. Before the movie, many locations provide additional entertainment like arts and crafts, games, costume contests, music, dancing and food trucks. FAQ: What should I bring? Plan to bring chairs or blankets for your comfort. Chairs are not provided at any of our events. Also, feel free to pack a picnic and enjoy your meal under the stars! Some locations will have food available, so check the Event Specifics section of each location and date for more details. Bring a sweater or light jacket – it will cool down once the sun sets. What if it rains? In the event of rain or high winds a movie may be canceled. If it rains on the day of the movie you’re planning to attend, please contact the Parks & Recreation office to get up-to-date information on possible cancellations. Contact information for each location is in the Event Specifics section of each scheduled movie. Can I bring my dog? Many parks allow dogs as long as they remain on leash. Rules are typically listed on community boards or kiosk signs – but you may also call to confirm. Always keep a close eye and clean up after your pet. Where can I park? Most locations have ample parking or quick access to public transportation. We encourage you to check the Event Specifics section of the movie you plan to attend to see if there are any specific notes on parking.
