Join us for a fun filled evening in downtown San Rafael this summer as we host our annual event, "Dancing Under The Lights"!
Prepare to dance the night away with our headliner, NEON VELVET, one of the Bay Area's top party bands. The festivities will kick off with a performance by School of Rock, a talented local youth band. Our local eateries, food trucks, and dessert vendors will be offering savory bites and sweet treats. Refreshing beers from our local brewery, Pond Farm, will be flowing to make for a fabulous Friday night! Check out the local artist marketplace, kids' craft table, and jumpy zone. From crafting to dancing, there's something for the whole family.
So mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, put on your party shoes, and join us for the 3rd Annual "Dancing Under The Lights" - where Downtown San Rafael comes to life!
The San Rafael Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) is proud to present the event with support from the City of San Rafael.
Neon Velvet is the elite corporate dance band—a euphoric celebration with state-of-the-art lights and sound, props, choreography, and high fashion. Performing hits and surprises from the 70s, 80s, and 90s to contemporary hits and classics, every show is presented with precision, excitement, and a warm personal touch.
