Del Mar Racetrack Summer Concerts

Del Mar Racetrack presents seven weeks of free summer concerts to accompany its world-class horse racing. Shows are scheduled for every Friday and select Saturdays, with a new location for Friday concerts — the Seaside Terrace, located at the west end of the Grandstand, which offers a scenic Pacific Ocean backdrop. Concerts are free with racetrack admission purchased prior to the last race; admission for concertgoers entering after the horses have left the gate for the last race is $20.
