Around Town

The Daily Bulletin's Claremont Now blog offers up a lot of good information about events around town.

Here are a few, as well as some others we found on our own:

  • Free jazz concerts at College Center, located at the northwest corner of Claremont and Foothill Blvds.

    This is a weekly free jazz series that happens Sundays from 2pm to 5pm.
