The city’s Citrus Nights series returns this Friday for its final of two evenings of music in the park held this fall at Van Maren Park.
The second Citrus Nights concert in the park will feature Moonshine Crazy and is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 18 from 6 to 9 pm. at Van Maren Park. Music is expected to begin at 7 p.m.
The night will feature music, food trucks and a beer and wine garden hosted by the Citrus Heights Chamber of Commerce. Residents are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and enjoy an evening of live entertainment.
Several food vendors are scheduled to attend, including The Fry Boys, Dubbs Lunch Boxx, Drewski’s Hot Rod Kitchen, The Mini Donut Shack, SanTacos, Crumble Cookies and Tucker’s Kettle Corn.
In addition to food and entertainment, the September event will include a limited number of election information booths intended to provide information for residents ahead of the November City Council election.
The city said in a statement this week that the August Citrus Nights event hosted over 1,200 attendees.
The Citrus Nights series debuted in 2025 as a new community event series aimed at bringing residents together through live music outdoors and local food vendors. City officials announced earlier this summer that the popular event would return for two nights this fall.
Van Maren Park is located at 6601 Thalia Way in Citrus Heights.
