Performances will take the Sunbowl Stage all afternoon, among them kids band the Not-Its, girl pop band Cumulus, indie/rock/pop Land of Pines, and one more to be announced. The CAPA Root Beer Garden will be handing out root beer floats until the ice cream’s gone!

June 19, fundraiser for Capitol Hill Alano Club
Good question/point. This is CAPA’s list but there are activities at the park and Bobby Morris not on the roster. Bat N Rouge is one. Anybody with more, let us know.
Bat’n’Rouge is definitely one of the annual highlights at Cal Anderson Park! However, it is a fundraiser, and CAPA lists only free events on its print and online calendars. A complete online calendar of park events is under development!
