OXNARD — The Collection at RiverPark is getting the community rocking this summer and fall with Rock the Collection, a series of free, family-friendly concerts. These live outdoor shows feature timeless rock classics performed by popular tribute bands.

The lineup includes:

  • July 27 – Twisted Gypsy (Fleetwood Mac Tribute)
  • Aug. 10 – DSB (Journey Tribute)
  • Sept. 28 – The Long Run (Eagles Tribute)
  • Oct. 19 – Bruno and the Hooligans (Bruno Mars Tribute)

The concerts will be held at Collection Park, which offers plenty of space to dance and sing along or just kick back and relax. Each performance begins at 6:30 p.m., just in time to set up picnic chairs and a blanket, grab some grub from one of The Collection’s many restaurants, and settle in for an evening of live music.

“We’re so excited to once again welcome the community to Rock the Collection,” said Jill Almonia, The Collection’s Marketing Director. “These concerts offer a great opportunity to get outside, enjoy the warm weather, and relax with family and friends. We love watching all the smiles in the crowd, and seeing familiar faces keep coming back concert after concert, year after year.”

For those who have more time to spend, The Collection offers plenty to see and do. Take a stroll in the open-air atmosphere and check out art installations from nationally and internationally recognized artists. Explore a wide variety of shops, including major retailers and local boutiques. Make memories at one of The Collection’s numerous entertainment destinations. Stop for a meal at The Annex Food Hall, a culinary-focused, community-minded marketplace that celebrates the spirit of small business and features an eclectic collection of eateries. The Collection has something for everyone to enjoy.
