Over the past year, EPACENTER has welcomed countless moments of joy through community celebrations, family events, live concerts, cultural festivals, and unforgettable experiences. From Family Fun Days, to the Juneteenth Jubilee, to live music that had everyone on their feet!

Every event has brought neighbors together to celebrate the culture, creativity, and spirit of East Palo Alto. These events are places where families connect, artists inspire, young people shine, and our community creates lasting memories together.

We’re planning another full year of community celebrations at EPACENTER. We hope you’ll join us, because the best memories are the ones we create together!

What started as a vision to create more opportunities for East Palo Alto youth has grown into something even bigger.

Thank you to KQED for highlighting EPACENTER's inaugural Sunset Concerts series and the incredible community that has made it possible. This series has always been about more than bringing great artists to East Palo Alto. It's about creating opportunities for our community to gather, celebrating the incredible talent that comes through our city, and making sure every concert helps support the next generation of young artists.

We're grateful to everyone who has joined us this summer: our artists, partners, volunteers, supporters, and every person who came out to enjoy a show. You've helped make this first season something special.

Thank you to KQED, for telling our story, and thank you to our community for continuing to show what's possible when the arts are rooted in East Palo Alto.
