Despite cutbacks in Claremont's city services, summer brings the fun for kids of all ages.

Tonight, the Claremont Police Department brings back summer movies for the kiddies in Blaisdell Park. There's no food available for purchase this year. You'll have to bring your own food.

Also back is the City's Monday night Summer Concert Series, co-sponsored by the City and the Claremont Kiwanis Club. Food is available there, and the proceeds from concessions help pay for the entertainment.

The Claremont Monday Night Concert Series continues to be a stunning success, drawing 3,000-5,000 people each night. This 10-week series is sponsored by both the City of Claremont and the Claremont Kiwanis Club and features some of the best entertainment in the area. In an effort to appeal to a wide audience, the series features a diverse type of music while including a few traditional groups.

Although the concert officially runs from 7:30-9:00pm, the concertgoers begin arriving as early as 6:00pm to select a space and enjoy dinner in the park. The Kiwanis Club offers a variety of concessions, from burgers, dogs and quesadillas to ice cream, popcorn, nachos, candy and drinks. Proceeds from the concessions fund the bands. This Monday Night Concert Series runs from July 5 - September 6, and is free and open to the public.
