Palo Alto’s summer tradition of live music downtown, “Music on the Plaza,” returns this year with a new location: Lytton Plaza, on the corner of Emerson Street and University Avenue.

The series kicks off on Thursday, July 13, with the rock band Tinman and continues each Thursday, 6-8 p.m., through Aug. 17.

“There’s something for everyone’s musical tastes, from the blues to rock to Latin/salsa to R&B. Bring your friends, bring your lawn chairs and bring your dancing shoes,” Russ Cohen, executive director of the Palo Alto Downtown Business and Professional Association, said in a press release.

Formerly held in King Plaza near City Hall, the concerts are free. Part of Emerson Street will be block off to accommodate the stage.

Philz Coffee, one of the series sponsors, will be giving away gift cards at each show.
