Bringing the crowd to Dorada Park, Live Again took the stage for the first Concert in the Park of the summer, sponsored by the Oakdale Chamber of Commerce.

Despite the heat, a large crowd settled in early for the show, setting up blankets, lawn chairs and many spreading out picnic dinners or snacks and beverages to enjoy during the show.

Former Oakdale resident Alex Lucero, a crowd favorite, is the front man for Live Again and the group played for an appreciative crowd, with some even getting up to dance once the sun started to set and the temperatures started to cool.

The Friday night show, July 12, kicked off the series that will run through Aug. 30. Concerts are scheduled from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each Friday, with this week’s show, July 19, headlined by Ava Grace and the New Sound followed by Remedy on July 26.

The Chamber of Commerce is always looking for sponsors and supporters for the concerts; more information can be found online or by contacting the Oakdale Chamber of Commerce at (209) 847-2244.
