Live Entertainment Roundup for the Weekend of September 30 through October 2
There’s something magical about the change of season into autumn; a tingle in the spine that signals transformation, excitement for the expected turn of the weather, a chance to reinvent ourselves with new relationships in familiar spaces. October invites a playful romp outdoors with friends, family, and lovers to enjoy a taste of the live music offerings in Santa Cruz, the Santa Cruz Mountains and around the county.
