Orange concert series brings community together By Vicente Sarmiento Second District Supervisor It was great to join the community on July 9 for the kickoff of the 2025 Concerts in the Park series. The concert featured classic soul and Motown sounds, and the community came out in full force to support the event and enjoy a beautiful evening at Hart Park. I had the pleasure of joining the Kiwanis Club of Orange, the organizers of the concert series, in presenting scholarships to a group of incredibly deserving students and introducing the band to get the show started. This year, our office joined other sponsors to help save the Concerts in the Park series, which was initially at risk of being cancelled due to budget shortfalls. Thanks to the support of all the sponsors, the concerts are now scheduled to continue at Hart Park every Wednesday through Aug. 6. Our cities are grappling with serious challenges that we must address head-on, and many of our families are facing heightened stress and economic hardships. At times like these, we cannot forget the importance of providing free, family-friendly spaces where the community can come together to celebrate and enjoy a sense of togetherness. I want to recognize and thank the members of the Kiwanis Club of Orange, the sponsors, and the volunteers who are making this year’s concert series a great success. These concerts are more than just a chance to hear great music. They are an opportunity to strengthen our sense of community and support the well-being of our families.
