DEL MAR — Musical memories and some great new hits are on tap in two concert series at the 2011 San Diego County Fair, presented by Albertsons/Sav-on.
The San Diego County Ford Dealers Paddock Concert Series is an exciting part of the Fair's entertainment lineup, with nationally known artists performing in one of the Fair's most intimate settings.
The Fair's Solid Gold Series brings in artists whose hits from the '60s and '70s produce those great musical memories of school-day radio hits, or the first record that began a personal music collection.
Paddock concerts are Tuesdays through Thursdays at 9 p.m., with bonus concerts on occasional Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Solid Gold concerts are every Thursday at 2 p.m. On June 16 and 30, the same artist will perform in both series. All concerts are free with Fair admission, and there is no reserved seating.
